When my sister was 5 she was mad about the Clangers (see below) so when I saw this decoupage sheet at a recent fair I had to get it. Her Birthday is tomorrow so this is the mad card I made her based on the MMSC51 sketch. I found out a few things about the Clangers from their website - "Clangers films were first shown in 1969, the year man landed on the moon. They were described by a NASA scientist as “an attempt to bring a note of realism to the fantasy of the Space Race.”. The series concerns the life and times of the Clangers a race of highly civilised, small, bright pink, long-nosed mouse-shaped persons which stand upright on big flappy feet. They talk to each other by a kind of high pitched whistling and have large animated ears that they pull over their eyes when they are sad or distressed.
The Clangers live inside a small blue cratered planet which is covered in metal lids from which they hide from the cold and the numerous objects falling from space. They share their worldwith the Soup Dragon, who lives in the soup well and who provides the Clangers with green soup, the Glow Buzzers which provide light for the Clangers caves and tasty Glow Honey,and the conjuring froglets, inexplicable orange, oval stick-legged creatures which travel in a top hat and live in a vertical pond deep within the planet."

Janine this is sure to entertain and delight your sister. You took such a terrific photo of this card...that I almost thought this mouse was three dimensional. It really looks like a knitted mouse on here!!! The little details you used to decorate and enhance the card are perfect. How absolutely fun and fabulous! Thank you so much for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Hope to see you again soon and good luck in the prize drawings.
