I like bright colors and this old die from Anja van Laar looks like a sun/sunflower.
The cutting and embossing is done by hand !
The image of the little mouse is from Marjolein Bastin (2003)
and also cut by hand into several layers.
Each layer is popped up with pop up dots.
I added Stickles on the embossed areas...so a bit shiny and bright !

I'm just about to get a bus into town to meet my husband - so I'll come back and look at all the lovely details in this later . That little mouse is just so sweet, and the die makes a fabulous sunshine setting for her! Great work with all the old-school hand embossing, too!!
