Here's a card I made for the July 4th holiday coming up. I used a very old Sweet 'n Sassy Cocoa mouse digital image with a firecracker along with an older piece of double sided dsp that I got at Tuesday Morning years ago. I used some MFT stitched square dies to cut the image and red mat and added a sparkly blue star done with a (r) SU! mini punch. The sentiment was computer generated and die-cut with a MFT fishtail banner die. The background design was made using the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #591 but I needed to change the sentiment placement with the image I used. Seeing the sketch design and my card side-by-side I realize I reversed the design too...sigh. Some days I'm a hopeless case 😋

Such a sweet image and I'm sure it's fine to rotate or otherwise when using sketches as long as the finished card shows some resemblance 😉
How cute is this 4th of July card?!! I love it Carol, love Cocoa the Mouse as he is so adorable. Great papers and a fun sketch to boot! And yes, I can see the sketch in your card so you are not a hopeless case! You still stuck to the sketch but made it your own and I love that. Unlike me who follows a sketch exactly because I have no imagination. LOL Hugs, Brenda
Very sweet image and lovely patriotic colour palette.

Great card Carol, the little mouse is so cute popping his head round. xx

What a festive card! Love the paper and the big pops or red! That mouse with his firecracker is so cute! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
I know your love for Cocoa mouse, dear Carol, and this one with the firecracker is delightfully CUTE! Just perfect to celebrate your Independence Day, as well the stars & stripes and the colours of your card!
I'm not good with sketches, they aren't my forte, but I think that reversing and rotating are always admitted.
Hope you have a good weather, not too hot, and enjoy your days. Sending as always my biggest hugs and heartfelt thoughts!
Oh, how cute. I love Cocoa. A wonderful sketch andI think it is perfect to flip it and make it your own.
Well, I think your card is spot on, Carol! It is super adorable and love the papers you used! Cocoa Mouse is such a great image and one that deserves to be the center of attention with his fireworks! Love this sketch as it shows off the different papers! Great card, my friend! TFS and have a wonderful day! Hugs~
