This card is to show Darla and her daughter how critters such as the House Mouse cools off during the hot, hot, hot days of summer. Can you just feel the breeze from the fan and just taste the cool sweetness of the ice pop? Hmmmmmm..........And, just look at that tall glass of ice water!!! Oooohhhhh...I feel cooler already!!!!! LOL!
I added the butterflies just to reassure Darla that the House Mouse's will not harm her or her daughter.....these are friendly wittle critters!
I colored with Prismacolored pencils, used gel glitter pens for some sparkle, added Glossy Accents to the water in the glass. I added butterfly bling and used the Bow Easy for the yellow bow.
Punch: Corner rounder

This is absolutely so fun and fabulous. I want to be the mouse standing on the ice cube!!! With temps in the 100's here in GA, that would be a great place for me to be today. Love your colors and fabulous details.

Oh my, those ice-pops look good! It's cooled down here today, but I wouldn't have minded those in the freezer last week. Love the way you can see that little mouse tongue sticking out all ready to lick away.
