Life is a bowl of cherries.....

Hello everyone: I have another card to share for you that I started about 3 days ago and today, I finally decided to just go ahead and post it.  Why the delay you might ask? well, it was because the sketch challenge over at Retro Sketches called for several layers of paper and most of you know how hard it is for me to mix and match pattern paper so it took me 3 days to finally decide on a combination that look acceptable to my totally untrained eyes. I'm also entering this card to the Penny Black and More "Anything Goes with a stamp and dies" February challenge, I just love the little critter stamps they have. Anyway, here is my card, I hope I didn't mess up big time with this papers. (Be gentle, sigh!)

This image is from Penny Black and it's called Homemade , I stamped it onto Canson water color paper and colored it with the aqua painter and SU markers in Cherry Cobbler, Certainly Celery, Basic Gray, Chocolate Chip and Garden Green, then I die cut it using Spellbinders CARD CREATOR  dies. The pattern paper is from Lily of the Valley and my card base is SU Stawberry Slush. 

The sentiment is from the same set, I stamped it with Strawberry Slush ink and die cut it with an old Labels die set, the linen thread is from my stash. 

Here is a picture of the inside.

The sentiment here is from another Penny Black set, also stamped with Strawberry Slush, the little mice footprints are from the set and are stamped with SU Crisp Cantaloupe. I just thought having some footprints from this little critters would be fun.

Here are the banners that inspired this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.
