Out of a Hat Creations set a Challenge a while ago to alter a Mousetrap. At the time I couldn't find a trap anywhere, the shops I went to only sold the humane ones and were shocked that I wanted to buy the 'old fashioned' type. I managed to track one down as the girls had by then promised to hold another challenge at a later date.
'The Return of the Mousetrap'.
First of all I painted the whole trap with acrylics, took a piece of the mechanism off to make space to for my mouse image, which is part of a larger La Blanche stamp.
I added scraps of muslin, putting them behind the cuttings from Graphics 45 papers.
A piece of the discarded metal became the hook to hang it up.
To finish my altering and make it useful, I covered a small ' post it', note pad with a pretty paper, this is placed under the spring .
All the shading is Antique Linen and vintage photo distress inks.
Thank you for stopping by to take a look. Your comments are always appreciated.
