Hello peeps and a very good evening to you all!
Here is my card for this week's House Mouse challenge. I haven't entered this particular challenge for ages so I thought I would this week, such a nice theme too! This is a slight departure from my normal style and I have to say that I was completely inspired for this one by Julie's card (18th Jan) and Sarita's card. Aren't they wonderful, I love the fact that there is quite a lot of the white cardstock left on show. Of course, me being me, I had to fight not to put more embellishments on, I think I've already overdone it as it is, lol! I sat for ages thinking some pink gems would look good in the top right corner but no, that isn't what it's about. Less is more in this instance I told myself........ yes, I do often mutter to myself, lol! Anyway, I'm so taken with this style I think there will be more to come like this!
Materials:
Image - House Mouse Happy Hoppers
Sentiment - Studio G
Heart Stamps - Studio G and Scrappy Cat
Leaf Stamp - Kars
Papers - Basic Grey offcuts
Punch - Personal Impressions Daisy and Woodware Star Flower
Colouring - ProMarkers
Embellishments - Pearl Stars from my stash
I'm off for a blog hop now and then an early night..... we have ofsted in at college this week and it's hectic to say the least!

Beautiful card Tara - just stunning. I agree with you that the amount of white card showing looks great. I do however know what you mean about having to stop yourself from putting more and more embelishments on.

Oh thank you, thank you, I can't believe little old moi has inspired you!
I love this look, I think it gives a bit more freedom to add different layers of stamping.
Your card is stunning, all the stamping works really well together, and I love that leafy swirl!
Love Sarita xx
