Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Water Colour Wednesday - Strike up the Band !

Hi Everybody,

These cute mice are from My Favorite Things and it is called Strike Up The Band

It has a separate die set that you can purchase and there are six mice altogether with different instruments.

Both are available from Sevenhills Crafts

I have masked off areas and added the mice in the position I wanted them and then water coloured them with Gansai Tambi.

I think this card would be suitable for any age group .. male or female .. and could be for other occasions too either using other sentiments in the set or another set that you may have

Exciting news for me .... I became a Great Grandmother for the second time at 4.49 this morning when my Granddaughter Robyn gave birth to 8 lbs 11 ozs boy to be named Carter. We will get to meet him later and both are well. There's a good reason to strike up the band !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  19. CONGRATULATIONS, Christina!! I still say you're way too young to be a great-grandma...You and Griff must have got married when you were ten :). Carter sounds like a treasure, a nice healthy weight and what a great time to arrive (I was 6:30am myself lol).
    The card is a winner, another great stamp and die set from My Favorite Things, I so want to spell that the English way lol. As always, your shading is fantastic and it brings the mice to life.
