This is for today's limited supply challenge. The challenge: to make a card/project using a summer theme but limited to 3 layers + card base, limited embellies, and no patterned paper. I decided these cute little mice were very summery as they try to beat the heat with a fan and popcicles!! The image is colored with watercolor crayons and an aquapainter. Had to break out a blending pen for the fan, though. Added dimensional glaze to the popcicles, glass, and mouse eyes.
These colors are definitely out of my comfort zone so I'm not real sure I LOVE this card. Popcicles just don't seem to come in Earth Elements or Rich Regals, though!
I noticed while I was coloring that the mice in front of the fan don't have tails....they are there on the picture on the stamp...wonder if they got too close to that fan???? Do you suppose they used the popcicles to numb the pain....or maybe there's something numbing in the popcicle itself....poor miceys!!!
Thanks for lookin' at my very bright card! You'll need sunglasses to go with that sunscreen!

As one who loves the bright colors, I think your adorable card looks great! Those images are so cute, and I love the glaze on your glass of ice. These mice probably aren't feeling any pain if their tails did get caught in the fan; they are really enjoying those popsicles!
