Measurements: dark brown - 3 ¾ x 5”, image panel - 3 ½” x 4 3/4”
-Tool and ink distressing on all layers. To tool distress on all four sides the caramel layer is cut to 4.25 x 5.5 and mounted on white cardstock. To avoid white showing after tool distressing is done I ink distress about a ¼” in on the white base.
-Stitching on the dark brown is done with heavy beige thread and ink distressedÂ…got a little heavy on zig-zag so IÂ’ll use a lighter touch next time!
-Button are tight on the card with the same thread after punching holes with the paper piercer and I used the Stampin Up mat pack for marking.
-Re-inkers were used for coloring the image panel.
-Stickles were added to the flower.
I pick the layout before I create and I had no idea what IÂ’d do for this large panel until I started searching the image supply and found this Whipper Snapper image that IÂ’d never used. It was a gift from my sister in law. It worked perfect with the paw print background from Cornish Heritage Farms.. We can rule out mouse but are those kitty or doggie prints?

Roxie, your critters are gorgeous. Fantastic coloring, I really like the stitching, the buttons are perfect and a great sketch to boot too.. It will be nice to do something large. Thanks, you are the best for always going that extra mile for us demanding little stampers. LOL

Super cute Roxie! Love that image and the kittie is especially cute! I think I need the paw print background. It would be used alot. The embelishments are great too.

I was going to say too cute - that's the first words came to mind. But so did everyone above. So I will say that I love the 3 little buttons with the tiny threads that look like a little mouse.
