House Mouse

 Hi Everyone,I've been missing in action again - sorry. All due to a snap decision to go to my brother & SiL for a few days. It's the first time in nearly 5 years we have been away, and we spoilt rotten by them, also the temperatures were up to 27C and lovely blue skies, making it even more enjoyable, we came home to rain, but that's OK. The garden needs it!

Anyhow, my card today is from a disc I have had for a long time, "A Very Mice Colouring Book" Vol 1. The image is 021, but I will call it Mice on Lavender. I followed a sketch for this one from Dawny P for Paperchase Weekly. 
  
 

I chose lavender digital papers and arranged them according to the sketch on black paper. I coloured the image with DI's and also edged the image with ink. A straightforward and simple card, but I'm pleased with it. I haven't added a sentiment as I thought it may spoil it? There will be a greeting inside though.

This is a very sweet card, love that you used a sketch! Can you believe, I have zero House Mouses. But I do love looking at them on others' cards. Enjoy your rain and mild temps...it could be worse, take my word for it! hahaha XXO

  23. I love this card Faith, how fun that you have a whole disc of these mouse images! The sketch is fun and made such a pretty card. Loving the pattern papers you used and I always think a black mat makes a huge difference. Love the way you colored these cuties in too, I guess I need to start practicing to try and color with DI inks. Any tips?! Do you use watercolor paper?? Beautiful card and I don't think it needs an outside sentiment either. Hugs, Brenda
