Shedding light on the moon

Hello crafters, 

This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Brenda is "All creatures great and small". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

I created a scene inspired by the idea that "the moon is made of cheese" according to a famous English proverb, a favourite of Wallace and Gromit.

Obviously the mice are checking this out....

I first stamped the moon and masked  it before applying Distress inks in blues and greens.
Removing the mask I then stamped the mice and leafs before applying ink for the glow of the bulbs.
Fanciful as the electric cables are not plugged in but... 

All stamps are from Lavinia:
- Moon (LAV431)
- Double Trouble (LAV963)
- Berry Leaves (LAV577)
 
*******************
I hope you like this one and will be inspired to join us at the Allsorts challenge blog to see all the DT inspiration and upload your projects. There are two prizes of stamps, stickers and scenescapes from Lavinia Stamps pictured below for a lucky winner!

Thanks for coming by,

 Craftyfield   I am entering the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge

  1. I love your fanciful card!
    I mean, along with the unplugged lights, who knew mice could survive on the moon without suits either? But yours have! LOL! No-one would even consider these things - they would just love the card as it is beautifully done. Imagination is a wonderful thing. xxx
