I find myself playing with the yellow, black & white color combination a lot lately, so I made another card with those colors again today.
This is a House Mouse image I've had in my box of stamped images for a long time, so I decided it was time to use it, and I lightly colored it with Copics. I added an embossed background and vertical strip; both done with an Anna Griffin/Cuttlebug Matelasse ef set. The sentiment is from CTMH and I hand-cut the sentiment panel. The final touch was to add some black & white gingham ribbon from my stash.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
House Mouse HMFMC#193 - "dotty for dots" (the embossing has lots of tiny dots in the pattern)
OWH May ODBD Challenge - use embossing
Words2ScrapBy#20 - "say cheese" (I took this challenge literally as it's national photography month)
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you're doing!

I love this color combo so I'm always happy to see cards made with these colors. I love that embossing folder and it really helps to back up your darling image. Great that you could cover three challenges with this one darling card. Have a fun day.
Another cute, cute card! Fabulous coloring on the cute image and I'm loving it when you do that color combo.

Very fun!! :D You have a strong sense of humor, Carol!
I would never succeed in making so harmonious card with these colors!
I admire your style, so sober and happy to the same time. The embossed background is very elegant and match great with the vertical strip and gingham ribbon. Great work!
P.S. Thanks so much for your kindness :)
Oh, my gosh, this should be the poster for the W2SB challenge, Carol! It's perfect for that and for the others, too! I'm glad mousie got out of the box and was showcased so perfectly!! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
