With Spring about to finally get here, I made this card because I can almost smell those wonderful lilacs now! I colored this House Mouse image with Copics, and matted with black, green and lavender cardstocks. The sentiment is from G Studio and the embossing was done with a SU! square lattice ef. Let's hear it for spring and that sweet lilac aroma we're about to experience again soon!
I'm entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "April showers and/or spring flowers."
I'm also sharing it over at the House Mouse HMFMC191 which is to use a birthday theme or anything goes. I went with the anything goes theme.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful spring weekend ahead!

The smell of lilacs and lily of the valleys bring back childhood memories. Wonderful card!
Hi Carol, what a beautiful card. The lilacs look like you could just pick a flower right off the bush. Awesome coloring and beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing your card and joining the fun at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. Nicely done.

I can almost smell those lilacs too! Beautiful!!! I don't know if we have lilacs down this way but have larkspur and this reminds me of those. Very pretty card Carol.

Oh man I think I can smell them lilacs Carol! I love the smell of them and wish I had more than one bush. They are the smell of spring aren't they?! Love, love this card. The image is so dang cute because if I was a mouse I would be sleeping under lilacs too. lol Hugs, Brenda
Yep I can smell them from that card. Oh the wonders of modern computers...it was worth buying my new laptop!
Seriously, what a gorgeous card and those mouses are looking like they are having a good sniff of those lilacs.
Happy Friday.

Your card made me look out my window to see if anything is happening yet with our lilac bush, and it looks like there are some buds on the bush. I can't wait...I enjoy those flowers...so pretty...but they don't last very long.
Pretty card, and it's also reminding me that Jim has had a similar house mouse image colored for a long time, and I still haven't made it into a card.
enjoy your weekend!
