Elisabeth Bell's Little Miss Mouse Digi Bells' Blog Hop

To celebrate the newest addition to Elisabeth Bell's Digital Gallery (here), the Digi Bells Design Team is hosting a blog hop.

How can you win your own Little Miss Mouse digi image?  You'll have to hop through and leave comments on EACH blog.  [You can find the full list of 14 other blogs at the Digi Bells Design Team blog (here).]  Lynda will pick 2 blogs at random and the winners will be picked from those comments. The hoppers will have until Friday, Sept. 28, 2012 at 9 AM to leave comments. The winners will be posted at the Digi Bells' blog on Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012.

Reminder:  Buying then sharing digital images is theft.  Sharing digital images takes income away from the artist.

I've used Little Miss Mouse on the front of a flip card.  A Spellbinders Labels 17 die cut shapes my image and adds the lovely detail of an embossed edge.  I love how using the "beyond the edge" technique allows this sweet little fairy's wings to flutter over the top.

Rather than my usual torn paper clouds, this time I've temporarily adhered die cuts from a My Favorite Things Die-namics Cloud Trio set, airbrushed around them, then removed the die cuts to add dimension with Copic colors W1, W0, W00 and 0.  I'm happy with the way these clouds look on this image - Yay!!!  You can find out more about this Masked Clouds technique at Beate Johns' tutorial for Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine here.

I scanned my colored image, flipped it and printed an enlarged version onto cardstock.  I fussy cut Little Miss Mouse then covered her with Glossy Accents to create my own epoxy-like sticker.  She's a little blurry but VERY CUTE!!!  I love the way she appears to be reading the sentiment.

I've added a bit of WebstersPages Vintage Inspired netting, a Little Yellow Bicycle Fresh Print Clothes Line Flower Stick Pin, a couple of Prima Chloe mini flowers and a bit of Zva Creative rhinestone swirls to my handmade flower cluster.  StarDust Stickles, lightly painted over my punched daisies, adds wonderful sparkle.

Layers of Bazzill cardstock with patterned papers from a Wild Rose Studio Spring Fling paper pack provide the base for my card. 

Here's a view of my completed card front showcasing my use of Elisabeth Bell's Little Miss Mouse digi image.  I added a small sentiment from a Stampin' Up! All Year Cheer I set.

This pic shows my flip card partly open so you can see how the card opens with a slight view of the Crafty Secrets large Home Sweet Home set greeting and my handmade Little Miss Mouse sticker.  I also used Copic colors directly on a clear stamp for the top border using the "clean" stamping technique. Want2Scrap individual rhinestones are set at each corner of my sentiment area.  I did use a Stampin' Up! scalloped border punch for a center border and then I covered most of it up!  LOL!!!  Only bits of it peek through on the inside.
