Our sponsor for this challenge is Ike's Art, and the image I have used is Windmill, to represent the song "Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam". There are mice in the song too, but the only mouse images I have aren't really right to use with this, so let's just imagine that all the mice are safely tucked up in their beds inside the windmill.
I wanted to make this using more of a Delft blue, but I couldn't blend the colours properly with my blue inkpad, so I chose this pretty teal instead so that I could use Broken China DI, which I smooshed onto an acrylic block then used to paint the image, adding water a little at a time to get lighter and lighter shades.
The corners I have used are some very old white peel offs that are replicas of old Dutch tiles.

A very classy looking card, Jane, I love how you've coloured the image. I thought thought corners were dainty die cuts, what great peeloffs and so much easier to attach than die cuts! xx
That is such a pretty card Jane and I love the colour. The pretty corners really set it off. I think it's a great place for the mice to live ... I remember that song :-D
Thanks for using one of my images and it was a pleasure to Sponsor you all xx

Lovely card, great job with the blending and those corners are perfect!
I knew which song you'd picked as soon as I saw that windmill! Fab card, love the depth your colouring adds. Cara x
This is one of my favorite of Ike's images, Jane, and I love how you've done it in monochromatic turquoise blues! Great to know the mice are safe and snug in their beds. :-D
