This is one of my very favorite House Mouse stamps and I'm sure I use it every year to celebrate April showers. How could I resist those tiny Mousies splashing their way through the rain puddles?
I colored with a combination of polychromos pencils and ProMarkers, with white gel pen for the raindrops. I used one of my straight border dies (Spellbinders) to cut each edge of the image and then matted it with a royal blue CS frame.
The background was originally a card front which I 'rescued' from the trash bin because I loved the glittery embossing, and I trimmed the edges by hand. I added both ribbon and heavy twine but left it very simple after that. I wanted it to stay CAS and to work as either feminine or masculine.
