Many Thanks from a Mouse with a Balloon

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #156 offered a sketch and an optional twist Gratitude. I loved the sketch and found this sweet little mouse with a balloon that left me a spot for a thank you from Stampendous, Fresh Blossoms set. I made the vertical banners by coloring a piece of watercolor paper with my Copics and then die cutting with Corner Banner from C.C. Designs. The image is edged with Distress Inks and popped up with foam for some added dimension. Not to waste a bit of that colored paper, I used a balloon die from Creative Dies and added some fun to the inside.

  1. Jean, this is darling! I really thought I was going to beat you this week, but I guess I have to be more on the ball to get my card in before you do! Still, finishing on the first day of the challenge is pretty rare for me!

    1. LOL, Carrie! I am not trying to beat anyone, I just like to get each of the things done on the day that it happens or I get overwhelmed! I have a list for each day and Monday is From the Heart and The Diva Challenge (my Zentangle Blog) :)

    1. Thank you so very much, Kathy. As a former teacher, it is just second nature to me to let people know how to do things :)
