Bountiful Blessing

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When Nance came to craft a few weeks ago, she brought this sweet House Mouse
stamp she had just bought.  I stamped it while she was here and just got around 
to coloring it.


I stamped it with Memento ink and colored with Copics.

I used a die that came with a Glimmer plate.  To get the narrow border, I traced
around the outside on a piece of brown and fussy cut.  It's all popped over a
background of embossed leaves.

Since there was a lot of room between the image and sentiment, I found a
piece of orange twine to put in between.

Challenges:
Four Seasons - Fall
House-Mouse and Friends Monday #451 - ATG using House Mouse-option to use purple or orange

Reminds me of when we used to wear hats especially to church.
So glad that it over because they gave me such a headache.
This little guy needs a mirror but I don't think he can see. I do love pretend mice - so sweet!
