House Mouse Valentine



I'm working on Valentines as that day is rapidly approaching, so I made a few simple and easy cards like this one. I stamped this very old house mouse image on a piece of white card and colored it with Copics, using fluorescent pink to color the "Be Mine" candy piece. I used a SU! scalloped top punch and corner rounder to shape the tag, placing it on 2 panels of SU! designer paper that was cut with a GinaMarieDesigns die. For the final touch I added a die-cut heart made of red felt and added a tiny bow.

I'm sharing this with the following challenge

House Mouse & Friends Challenge HMFMC#282 -use something new or anything goes. I went with the anything goes category.


Thanks for checking in today and I wish you a great week ahead!

Super sweet and just as adorable as can be! You always make the cutest cards, Carol! Love the design and paper on this! I have always loved the House Mouse images but I could never color them nicely. So, I always admire everyone else's and this one is colored perfectly! Can't believe that Valentines Day is less than a month away....I better get my rear in gear! TFS! Stay warm!
