Just Chilax.....

Hello everyone: Don't you just wish you could do exactly what these little mice are doing? Oh my gosh!! what a perfect way to catch some ZZZZZ's!!!
This image is from House Mouse and it's called "Ray of Sunshine".
I looked for it to give you a link but it seems to be discontinued, so sad.
I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder then, colored it with SU Hello Honey for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves, Mudpie and Muzzy were colored with a bit of Derwent watercolor pencils.
I sponged the sky with Tumbled Glass ink and the sun with Hello Honey.
I was debating as to where to put the sentiment, which is from an old Flourishes set called "Pinwheels and Popcicles". I didn't want to cover the image and didn't want to stamp it on the panel either so I decided to stamp it on Vellum with Stazon black ink and die cut it with a tag die, I added an enamel dot to hide the glue dot.


****************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The border is stamped with a retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Potted Primroses and my little jumping mouse is "Jumping for Joy" from House Mouse.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

What a gorgeous card Maria! I came here to thank you for your lovely comment on my own card and then I see you're a triathlete!! I used to be a duathlete before getting sidetracked with a foot injury just over a year ago. I've had to give up running since and miss competing.
