EXCELLENT PRIZES !!!!

If you arrived here from the super talented Mary Gizema's blog then you are going in the right direction, if not then you will need to start from the House Mouse and friends Challenge blog

For my card I used this very cute House Mouse Bed of Flowers stamp. I coloured the image with Copics , added a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles and inked the edges with some pink chalk ink. The papers are Basic Grey from the Out Of Print pack and I added a little sprig of flowers (rather than a bouquet), the daisies are made using a Crealies die and the sprig is a Marianne Designs die. The twine is a RAK from our lovely Boss, America xx and the tag is made using a tiny x cut punch.

Thanks for looking :-) From here you need to hop on over to the lovey and super talented Lori Barnette's for more fabulous eye candy
