ANYTHING BUT A CARD - with BUGABOO STAMPS

Every Monday we get to share with you some (non-card) projects made with BUGABOO STAMPS.  This week, it's my turn, and I'd like to show you my altered mousetrap ... I now use if for a really cute memo clip!


To make this project I bought a really cheap mousetrap and removed the working parts (the ones that keep the trap sprung open and the little cheese holder).
I used washi tape to cover the wooden part (you could paint or even decoupage it)

The Bugaboo image featured here is called Lace Berry 1 and it's coloured using  Copics.  The red berries are covered in Glossy Accents.



As embellishments I used red gems and a white organza ribbon bow.

I must admit that this is not my own idea - I was inspired by the many many wonderful projects on Speciality Paper's Facebook page.
