I'm coming in at the last minute for Merry Monday again.
I didn't think I'd make it at all.
The Merry Monday Challenge this week is hosted by Deanne
This stencil was a NBUS. So glad to use those NBUS!
I used a Clarity Brush to stencil with Crumb Cake ink.
The House Mouse was stamped on watercolor paper waiting to be colored.
This little mouse stamp was in my NBUS box also. I colored him up
with Copics and added some Flower Soft to his cap.
I stenciled a row of chevrons and popped him on top.
Whew! Didn't think I was going to get them done this week.
Is it me or are the weeks going by faster?
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Adorable cards! Your NBUS sure has cute things...must be fun "discovering" them and using them.
