House Mouse Happy Birthday

Afternoon all,

Today, I have a House Mouse Birthday card to share with you. I have coloured the image with Prisma pencils and blended them with Odourless Mineral Solvent.

The really yummy background you can see is made with alcohol inks and glossy cardstock....very more-ish! The little sentiment was the thing which gave me grief with this card, as I had trouble deciding on one which was the right size for the card AND which also would fit in the word window punch by SU.

And you can see I have located my distressing tool...which meant I HAD to use it. I have now taken to hanging it from my work chair. I will just see how long it takes me to misplace it!

This is some beautiful pencil coloring. I love the background. It looks like a grape itself. Great combination. Super job. Thanks so much for always leaving great comments on my blog. I really appreciate it. I have been super busy and will catch up soon. Hugs.
