This card was made for House Mouse Challenge Blog this week's challenge is to use Junk... yep to find a something around your house and use it in your card. Well I had lots of "junk" to work with. So then I went back to my images and decided what image I wanted to work with... then went back and looked for something to work with my House Mouse and cherries. I just couldn't find the right thing.... then I opened my kitchen cabinet, and found a box of Jello... ok, so the box is junk once you make it right?
Found some scraps of pattern paper that were perfect... red and white with cherries on one side and the other side red with white dots. (sorry I don't know the maker) with Green card stock I sewed down the pattern paper, then matted and sewed down my House Mouse. Oh yea... I colored them with my Copics and white gel pen. I matted the front of the Jello box... many times. and then sewed it down. There was no room for a sentiment. And I love the sentiment that is made to match these cherry eating critters. So I decorated the inside of the card with scraps, and a circle punched cherry from the pattern paper. (you can see this on my blog if you would like)
Once done with the card I then used my glazed dimensions on the cherries and the mouse's mouth.... they are really juicy cherries. :0)

This card is just magnificent--and adorable--I hope you don't mind if I case it for my parents' anniv. card? I just went out and bought a box of cherry Jello!
