House Mouse Jelly Bean Birthday

I love using House Mouse images, but sometimes struggle using them in challenges since they are often quite large and I like to play with the coloring. I can’t believe I linked in FIVE challenges with this cute card. I used a 5.5”x5.5” DCWV card base. I think this helped keep the image from ‘over taking’ the card. The colors are some of my FAVORITES and I liked using what could be considered an Easter stamp for a Birthday card. Tied in with the H&M verse, it’s a perfect match. Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites.

    Cat this is ADORABLE - I love that scallop button edge - (filing in my "case it" file) and the inside is every bit as adorable as the outside. Thanks so much for playing - come back again! :-)

    This is absolutely adorable. The colouring is great, and the addition of glassy glaze is perfect.
