House Mouse Lavender Fields

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good evening everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a card challenging myself to use up my old stash rather than newer!
I coloured my House Mouse image with Promarkers and used Papermania Heather Capsule Collection papers. I wanted to mainly focus on a complicated sketch for my papers so I wouldnt need many embellishments for a simpler look-and to make postage much cheaper! :-) I also added white coredinations cardstock, American Crafts Polka dot ribbon, Fantastic Ribbons Gingham ribbon and Glitterations greeting and star embellishments.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
My Heart Pieces: Monochromatic
I love Promarkers: Anything Goes
Perfect Sentiment: Happy Birthday
Card Mania Challenges: Happy Birthday
Addicted to Stamps: Animal Friends
PanPastels UK: Animals
Penny Black and More: Animal Magic
The Crafty Pad: Use an Animal
QKR Stampede: Animal Madness

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
