My card for this week's House Mouse Sketch Challenge. I choose to use Nose to Nose in Flowers.
The Pattern Paper is Chatterbox Olive Stems and the cardstock SU Old Olive and Lavender Lace. The image was watercoloured using SU Certainly Celery, Mellow Moss, Going Gray, Blush Blossom and Lavender Lace. I doodled around the edge of the image and mounted it on a thin mat of Old Olive and used pop dots to give it a slight lift. The Chatterbox is also mounted on Old Olive and the base card is Lavender Lace. The Lavender Lace circle is stamped with French Script in Colorbox Wisteria but is hard to see in the photo. Purple ribbon and gems finish the card. House Mouse seem to be my favourites at the moment!
Thanks for looking.

Your colors are just wonderful. I just purchased Lavender Dreams House Mouse and I think this will work perfect with the layout you used too. Hope you don't mind a humble case.
