with love from a wee mouse

I was sort of making this little 4" square card for the Penny Black Saturday blog sketch challenge, but couldn't fit a sentiment on it where it's supposed to be, instead I just stamped onto a little Quickutz tag and tucked it under the ribbon. It was a dead quick card to make, the little mouse from the clear PB Every Which Way set stamped then cut out with classic oval Nesties - more oval than looks in the picture - and matted with a scallop oval cut from textured grey card then 3d mounted onto the card for extra interest. The background paper is from the slate colourway of Kim's digi Cottage Collection and I added the white line and pricking faux stitches around the edge. The embellishments are little bits from my stash and the gem hearts are Papermania from my local craft store. I've coloured the little mouse with pale grey shades C0, 1, 2 & 3 plus RV10.

I'll enter my card anyway, but I also remember seeing a challenge to use black and white plus one other colour, but forgot to write it in my book .. .. if you know which one would you let me know please so I can link up to it as well.

Thank you to Kat for letting me know that the challenge over at Penny Black at Allsorts is for black and white + one.

  15. This is such an adorable card Annie. It does not look like a "quick" card. It is so neat and well laid out. You have coloured your image beautifully and the touch of Pink finishes it off well. Just perfect for our challenge this month at Penny Black at Allsorts.
    Thank you for sharing it with us and we hope to see you again next month.

  20. What a sweet wee mousie, I love the simplicity of this card, the red heart gems are a perfect foil against the greys and the textured scallop layer adds just the right amount of added interest.
