Poorly Mouse


I managed to get my hands onto this cute little Henry mouse at Ally Pally and only just got round to colour him. I've used the sketch that Bev has done over on Whiff of Joy and had to use my MS punch, afraid you will have to bear with me while I get it out of my system. The papers are Basic Grey Kioshi and I even used it for the flowers using the plain colours.
The sentiment is Hobby Art but I'm afraid I took the craft knife to them and chopped them in half so it would fit in the punches.
The copic class was brilliant and while Karen and Wendy from Stamping and Memories were explaining about the copic, there was light bulb moment why I was going wrong. We were taught different techniques on blending and a few more copics were brought. Not sure I like being a novice again but you will be seeing my poor attempts till I get better.
I'm so looking forward to this weekend, there are no plans to do anything and even Hubby isn't working with Mr Grumpy well not at the moment.

Hi Debby,

I can see why you had to buy this little mouse - what a cutie! Also glad to read your feedback on attending a copic class. I have booked a class for Beginners to Intermediate Copic Users at our next craft show in Brisbane in June. Sounds like it will be useful and I'll pick up some tips.

Hi Debby, I just love this card, he is so cute but very poorly. Your colouring is fab, don't know why you needed the course, but glad you had good fun anyway!! Being that Wendy is my best friend, I have done the course twice but would still go on it again and learn more. I just love spending the time with the pair of them, it is so much fun!! And I come away skint every time I visit Wendy!! Take care Hugs J0 x
