I find this Stampendous House Mouse stamp quite cute and I had seen another stamp in this set where the creator spotlighted only a portion of the image. As I liked the idea I decided to try it with mine. I stamped the image in black on the white layer and lined up another piece of white card so I could stamp it again. Then I die cut the middle into a circle after I had coloured the parts I wanted to spotlight. Mainly used pencils for the colouring with a little Ohuhu inks for faces, paws and tails. I die cut a couple more circles so I could layer for a bit of dimension and then lined everything up to assemble as you see. Added the black layer to give a border and then to the card front. The sentiment is from a Joy Clair set.
Entering it into the two challenges at Make my Monday and Crafting Happiness just for fun. Hope you all have a great weekend. It is another hot day here and likely to continue for some time to come. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.

I am always happy to see the little mice cards in the gallery! They are just adorable! And I have seen the spotlight technique done in other ways but this one is totally new to me. I like it a lot and may have to try it. Thank you for playing with us at the MMM Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
