Hello dear blogging friends: Today is my last day as the Guest Designer for the HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE. You know how much I love the House Mouse sibblings so I had a blast creating my cards with the adorable images of this little critters that are so very dear to me and, as you can see on this card, they can be as sweet as they are MISCHIEVOUS!!
The challenge this time is "Anything Goes with an option of Ribbons" so, this is a good chance for us to use all of those scraps that we can't seem to throw away.
I often find inspiration on Pinterest and this time, I hit the Jack Pot!! I found THIS FABULOUS CARD by the very talented Hannelie Bester, her blog Desert Diva is one of my most favorites when it comes to amazing CAS cards.
I have this birthday pattern paper sheets on my stash so I decided to go with the colors of the candles to pick the ribbons and to color the balloons. Every time I use this image, I can't help but smile and the total mischievousness of this little mouse just about to wake up his sister with a BANG!!
I stamped the image on some watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Sakura Koi watercolors and Prismacolor pencils, I fussy cut around it and popped it up with some fun foam. I placed some Rhine Stones, Candy Dots and a few stars for some bling.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from Penny Black and the fireworks from The Ton "Pyrotechnics" stamp set.
I hope you stop by the HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE to see the amazing cards from the other Guest Designers and the fabulous Design Team and join in the fun, there are some fantastic prizes for you to win.

Hugs from Maria.

Oh, wow, your card is fabulous! I love what you've done with all those colorful ribbons. Great way to use up scraps, I'm thinking... I followed your link to Hannelie's card and I can see why you were inspired. Gosh, her card is 6 years old now. Interesting to see a person's older work. The image you used is so darn cute with all those balloons, and Brother has that mischievous look as he's poised to pop the balloon. So like a brother!
Gorgeous card Maria :-) one of my all time fave images and I love the candle paper and ribbon background with the bling, the whole design is fabulous!! :-)
