Hello.... Here is my card for today's Ways to Use it - (Birds) and yesterdays sketch challenge. My adorable House Mouse image was water coloured with reinkers. I clear embossed the mouses beak and the eyes. Sponged clouds in the background. I stamped the upper background blue panel with the weathered backgrounder stamp used chocolate chip ink. Sewed edges. Tied on the feathers with raffia.

This is so cute but beautiful too! Can't you just imagine what is going through those 2 birds heads while they are sitting there looking at that crazy mouse! He! He!

Totally love your card!! The Mouse house image sure made me smile, and I love the background (it looks like natural weathered paint/wood) and love your watercoloring. The sewing really tops it off nicely. TFS.
