Hoppy Birthday

 

F4A837 - Spring Flowers

MIX684 - Spring Flowers

For my card today, I started with this adorable House Mouse image, colored it with Copics, and trimmed the panel, with a die cut so the sentiment sits neatly beneath the image. I layered it on a soft purple to bring out the shading.

I added a piece of handmade paper from my stash, a textured sheet my MIL picked up for me from an art store that closed a few years ago. Its surface adds so much interest. I layered it on more purple cardstock, then set everything over a green designer paper and a coordinating purple card base.

I finished the card with a few purple pearls for a simple, polished touch.

Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.

  19. I zoomed in on the paper. It is very pretty. Lovely coloring. That Happy Hopper is certainly enjoying the pretty flowers. No time to stop and smell the flowers......just a quick bite. My kinda Hopper. No sense waiting when they taste so good. Thanks for joining us at the HMFMC. {Bunny} Designer for House Mouse and Friends
