HMFMC #165 Lost & Found

Good Monday Morning  - We have a new and exciting challenge over at House Mouse & Friends this week.  Our team mate, Heather,  picked Lost & Found.  I'm sure you can think of all kinds of things you have lost and/or found over the years.  I went with  buttons this week.


Quite often a button falls off of a sweater or coat and I put it away for safe keeping until I have time to sew it back on.  Then when I'm ready to sew, I can't remember where I put those buttons for "safe keeping" so they are lost.  I always find them after a day or so (found).  LOL  Anyway, I went with this darling image titled "Will Knit for Friends"  Isn't that little chick so adorable just waiting for his/her sweater to be finished so he/she will be all dressed like the other chicks.  I colored the image with Copics then I pierced the edges of my panel and added some small red beads from Pizzazz APlenty .  I placed a few hearts around the image also because there is such a look of love to this image.  My sentiment is computer generated and of course I added some buttons and twine.  It would be a great idea if you stopped by House Mouse & Friends today to checked out all the fantastic ideas my teammates and Guest Designers have for you in the way of inspiration. You won't be sorry, I promise you!

  1. I have never seen this image before, but I'm in love!! Those chicks look adorable all dressed up in their newly knitted sweaters! This is just precious, and I love the tiny hearts and red gems. The corner piercing looks great and you've created the perfect sentiment with those buttons! Great idea for the challenge, and a super cute card!

  15. This is such a 'lovely' stamp theme. So sweet and I liked all you did to make such a pretty card. I liked the corners that looked like piercing, and the smoothness of the center oval where you stamped your image. The colors are so cheerful and the tiny hearts were perfect with the theme of giving. Loved your buttons too. Laughed when I read your comments. I do the same. Always find the item long after it is needed. Do that all the time!!! TFS & Hugs

And speaking of sweaters, I can't believe how much I wanted to reach out to feel those "sweaters"!
