Time to Relax

-
This card uses one of the cute House Mouse Stamps
I have made this card for my mums friend who is retiring
The green papers comes from my stash
The yellow paper comes from the Papermania lemon sorbet pad
I used some off cuts of the lemon sorbet paper to make the flowers
Using my new Marianne Flower Die
The background to the flower was cut from plain white card stock
Off cuts of the green card were using to cut the leaves
The leaves have been raised slightly by using 3d foam
The Mouse was coloured using my promarkers
Then cut out as was the sentiment with my oval nestabilities

This card is for the following challenges


Thanks for Looking

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
