I printed the mouse onto a piece of mixed media paper, and die cut it with an oval die. I made sure the string for the ornament went off the edge of the oval, just to help "ground" the image a bit. I used my Mission Gold watercolors to paint the ornament & string, and one of the Starry Colors watercolors to paint the ornament topper. I used my Prismacolor pencils to color in the mouse, just to get some added texture in the coloring.
I cut a panel of patterned paper to size, & used the "Leaf" Sew Ribbon tool to punch the holes for my ribbon. I wove the ribbon across the bottom of the panel, and adhered the ends to the back. I also added a snowflake button (that I'd cut the button shank off of) at the end of the ribbon, just for a little something extra. I double-matted the panel with teal & red cardstocks. Then I adhered that to my white card base. I glued the oval on, and this card was done!

Andrea, what a gorgeous little mouse and ornament image that is colored so beautifully. The mouse appears to be swinging on the ornament. LOL. The patterned paper is gorgeous and a great background for the image. I love the woven ribbon at the bottom of the card. I love the card, Andrea!
