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.

Oh my goodness, I'm SO happy that you were about to take a quick trip to your brother and SIL for a nice visit! It sounds like the weather was perfect, so good for you getting away for a while! You came back to make a wonderful card too with those cute little mice and pretty lavender branches of flowers! Great coordinating papers to go along with that cute sketch too! Have a great weekend!

Hi Faith, oh your trip sounds wonderful, so happy for you to get away and see your loved ones. I'm also jealous of that rain you are getting. 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

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
