I am late to the party with my card for the letter H. My H is represented by Happy in the sentiment as well as using a House Mouse stamp for the main image.
I used last week's sketch challenge for my layout though my diagonal strip is higher and more diagonal than the sketch...oops!
I found this House Mouse image at Tuesday Morning and had fun coloring it while on a Zoom chat with several of the Alphabet Challenge ladies. It seemed perfect for my letter H but then last week was crazy! So today was my first chance to make it into a card and upload it.
I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and cut it to the size it is now. Added a narrow black mat and chose an older green cs color for the base. The Simple Sayings II set provided the sentiment which I heat embossed on black cs and matted with an unknown pink cs that I thought matched the Prismacolor pink ice cream.
Thanks for looking!

This is so cute Catherine! I have this stamp, too! It is fun to color and I love the colors you used with it here. the matting along the sentiment strip does match the ice cream very well!

What a terrific birthday card this is Catherine, and oh-so "happy" too! What a truly adorable image this is with all these mice lighting the candles on this ice cream cone. I love your card design and I love how the sentiment is done on black too- this is very striking and elegant. What a great card this is for the letter H challenge. ~Karen.
