Trick Or Cheese!

Hello!!!  I have loved the Lawn Fawn Mice for forever and have been hoping that one of these Fall Releases they would have Halloween mice.  I don't have to wait any longer because this was the year!!! How cute are these???  The stamp and coordinating die set are called Halloween Mice.  

It has been awhile since I have made a Reveal Wheel or used my Build A House Halloween Add On, so that is what I did for this card.

To start, I ink blended the background using Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink.  I used the Reveal Wheel Die along with the Reveal Wheel Build A House Add On.  Make sure you keep the notch piece that is cut out - you will need it later.  I also used the Hillside Stencils to add a hillside in using Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.  I stenciled the hillside instead of cutting one from cardstock because I didn't want my card to get too bulky.  I also spattered the background with some silver metallic watercolor.

I wanted to use the Spooky Forest Backdrop, but it was bigger than the Reveal Wheel piece.  I adhered the cut backdrop all the way to the left side of the card and centered in vertically in the opening.  I trimmed off the excess backdrop.  That worked really well because I didn't want a bunch of branches at the mechanism notch on the right side.  

Once I cut the large spinner piece from the Reveal Wheel Die Set, I temporarily taped the coordinating stencil to help me place the images that appear in the window.  I used the Spooky Village stamp set for the images in the window.  I did have to cut out the lines that seperated the window opening because you couldn't read the the little sentiments.  

I used a Copic marker to color the whole wheel yellow so my ghosts stayed white.  

Once I built my house using the both the Build A House and Build A House Halloween Add On, I glued it to the background lining it up with the window.  

I built my mechanism and placed foam dots around the wheel making sure that it was still able to move freely.  I placed my placed my background piece on top lining up the edges and notch.

I took the ink blended piece that I cut the Reveal Wheel background from and cut the notch off so that I could fill in the opening at the notch.  

Once I had the mechanism built, I glued on a piece of cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5".  Then I glued in the little notch piece so that the background continued to the edge.

Next I stamped out the Mice from the Halloween Mice stamp set and colored them with the following colors:

• YR21, YR23, YR24
• T2, T5, T7
• Y35, YR16, YR09
• R20, R22
• RV10, RV02
• Y02. Y13, Y17
• E42, E43, E44
• BG000

I used the coordinating dies to cut out my little friends and other items.  I popped all of them up with thin foam dots to give my card just a little dimension. I also used the All The Speech Bubbles stamps and die to make the little speech bubble above their heads using the sentiments included with the Halloween Mice set.

This card is just so stinkin cute with them Trick Or Cheesing.  Adorbs!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
