Welcome Little Monica Mouse


This is my entry for the House Mouse Challenge #110 - New.  I don't have any baby cards in my stash so decided to make one.  I think this little mouse sucking on a soother is just adorable.  I did the card in purple in green so that I can use it for either a boy or a girl.  I heat embossed the 'Welcome Little One'.  The main image was colored with copic markers and I sponged SU gable green and green galore.  I used spellbinders dies to cut out the image and the fancy circle in behind the image.  The white strips were cut out with a MS border punch.  The swirl in the corner was made with purple jewellery wire and a fancy brad added to the centre.  I added feathers along the bottom with a fancy brad in the centre.  The dp is from SU and I ran it through my cb with a circle ef. 

We have had such a mild winter here so far with a brown Xmas.  The temp. has now dropped and we are in for some cold weather for the next week or so.  Not sure that I am ready for this but ready or not it will come.  There is also supposed to be some snow so we will see what tonight brings. 

I don't have many followers, but, I would like to thank the few that I have.  Your visits to my site are much appreciated and I always enjoy reading any comments you leave behind. 

Again thanks for looking and I do hope that you enjoy your weekend.

  1. Sweet card. Love the Martha borders you stamped the sentiment on as well. Sounds like your weather is much the same as Iowa's this year!

  5. So adorable. I love the house mouse image and how you colored him/her. Love the purple and that way you can use it for either boy or girl. I think the fun diecut shape frame is cool too.
