Happy House Mouse Coloring!

Hi readers! How's the weather where you are? We've been having a mix of humid, rainy days with lots of sunshine. The mornings seem so peaceful when there's a small haze over everything!

I have a super fun tutorial of sorts to share today! I'm not a very experienced color-er, so when I saw these "maps" for coloring like the pros.. I was in love!

House Mouse Designs has given a simple chart to how to color your favorite mice! The different characters in House Mouse Stamps are so cute- and I just love seeing what those ornery mice are up to every time new stamps are in!

Letraset ProMarkers are very easy to blend, and have a great price point too!
Here are the mice, with their two colors following (and for the faces, tails, ears, and feet!):
InLinkz.com


And just for fun- check out House Mouse Stamps June Stamp Of The Month- Bug Off! Isn't Muzzy so cute with that little grasshopper?! Like I said- these stamps always have some sort of crazy adorable scene going on!

I hope this helped you be able to picture how to know what colors to use when coloring in stamps! It definitely helped me visualize! Also, don't forget how easy it is to search for examples! Try out Pinterest if you need any help with inspiration- we have a whole category for it!


To win a pack of Action Wobbles- just join our blog following and comment below!

Thanks for reading!

  21. I just love the House Mice, but think they´re very very hard to color nice, so these charts might be an awesome good help. I´ll just give it a try that´s for sure.
