So, I don't do cutsey well. BUT, Stacy aka Twinshappy sent a few of our chatting group a secret box of goodies that we couldn't open until Saturday, then we got directions on what to do with the contents. There were 4 different House Mouse images and a theme for each. This one required our card to have a wine & dine theme with this cute HM image. So cute meets my elegant damask tablecloth with a gold shimmer and lacey edge. I used gold perfect pearls mixed with water and TH distress reinker in Dusty Concord. The mouse was misted with the same mixture giving the background the lavendar wash. I edged the layer in gold Zig painty pen. 1 to go yet Stac!

What a great, whimsical card. These deep colored grapes make me think of our California Zinfandel, the original red wine. (not white zinfandel) Even your ribbon adds shimmer to this.
