Hello everyone!
After our birthday party at DotMCC it is now time for a new challenge! The theme for this month is...
World Rat Day
Celebrated on April 4
Anyone who keeps rats as pets is already in on the secret: these animals are friendly, loyal, intelligent, and very endearing. Unfortunately they’ve had a bit of bad press over the years....
but once you get to know them on a one-to-one basis, then all of their finer qualities will come to the fore.
Welcome to our World Rat Day challenge!
...of course you can use mice, too!!
I started by cutting holes in a sheet of cardstock. Then I placed the sheet on a card base and sponged the whole surface with two different shades of yellow and some orange ink in places. I took the perforated sheet off and enlarged the stains on the card base with a little more color. Then I stamped the rats, colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. I also stamped the words for the sentiment, cut them to size and colored the edges of the labels with black felt-tip pen. I then glued the perforated sheet to the base card with foam pads, inserted the rats and added the words. The rat on the bottom right got a Basque cap - my little French touch! 😉
Have Fun!
Hier fliegen gleich die Löcher aus dem Käse...
A German pop song from the 80s (Polonäse Blankenese)
...literally
Here the holes will fly out of the cheese soon (meaning that it's a real big party)

I think these rat stamps were made to be partying in a big block of cheddar cheese, Rosi, and you depicted that perfectly! Your blending and fussy-cutting are remarkable! So fun that you added the French touch!! Take care and be safe! Hugs, Darnell
