Happy Tuesday everyone... Here is a card I made for House Mouse and Friends - Challenge #18 - sketch challenge and challenge #19 - embossing (dry, heat, pre-embossed papers)..
Here is the link http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/
House mouse image was stamped on water colour paper twice... Coloured with reinkers. Also stamped the tree trunk on Kraft paper and coloured with creamy caramel. Cut out the mouse and bird and trunk - popped up on dimensionals. Bottom image was run through the cuttle bug and dry embossed with the swiss dot EF. Image is matted with old olive, baja breeze and chocolate chip (nesty scalloped rectangle). Main card is chocolate chip, next old olive then Basic Grey - pepper-berry, ran the DP through CB with distressed lines folder. Bottom rectangle is CC, OO, BB - run the the CB with Swiss dot folder. All edges were sponged, distressed and stitched. Stamped the sentiment in CC and then clear embossed and dry embossed. Punched out with 1 1/4" circle punch, matted with OO and CC scalloped circle. Punched out branches, added with puffy paint and diamond stickles. Attached copper brads to the corners.

Awesome is all I can say. This has such a great flow. I love the colors. The dp matches the bird and the browns go with your mouse. This is one great card. TFS
