I've had this image for at least a year, but I finally summoned up the courage to take on the colouring! I made 3 of these, and one with More Mustard as the outside paper to create a masculine version of this Birthday card.
I used SU basic grey and Regal Rose for the papers, as well as Neenah Solar Crest for the white portion. I must have tried out 100 copics and used about 45 of them to colour this fun image!
Thanks for looking!
Card measures 4 1/2 inches square.

And what's this about fruitcake mentioning the spy ware equipment I sent you last year? Admit it ~ you havent even taken lessons to figure out how to use the made in America stuff, have you? No, I didnt think so. Cap'n Canada, your card/image is adorable and your coloring is sheer perfection. How the heck did you manage that?

Just wanted you to know I mailed your card last Friday, so you can probably expect it sometime around March 13th.
I hope you're surrounded by the boys and Dave and all they load you up with tons of wonderful presents. I bet even Daisy will give her mommy a gift. Oh you lucky girl!~ Have a wonderful day. BTW, is this your 66 or 67th birthday?
Buck up little camper, you'll get used to it before you know it.

This looks like a fun image to color in - a chubby mouse! He is so cute. I can see the different colors you've blended for his fur; that looks good. And all those treats must've been fun too - I can see your shading and it looks terrific! Sometimes it's just fun to color like we did when we were kids, isn't it? Only now, our 'crayons' cost sooooo much more!!

Cute as a mouse! In a house. Or was that a bug in a rug...or a cat in hat. Oops. Lost my focus there. Must be my age...but you know all about that now! Wonderful card. But what Da Fruitflake said about Copics counting as punches. Nope. No way. Nuh-uh. (Because I don't have any.) Love your card Debzi.
