This challenge is a double up, Cute Card Thursday Challenge #67 called for sewing on a card, while House Mouse Monday Challenge was to use paper tole. I started with a base card of dark brown Bazzill. I then created multiple layers with Kaiser Country Grove "Daisy Chain" and "Floral Field" along with light brown embossed Bazzill. The image is House Mouse "Take Time to Smell the Flowers" stamp, which I have used paper tole on the leaf on the rhs and the flowers.
The image was watercoloured with SU River Rock, Marigold Morning, Always Artichoke, Basic Gray and Blush Blossom. I have embroided the corners with a simple cross stitch in DMC Embroidery Cotton No 839. The image is placed on popdots for a bit of a lift and ribbon and pearls finish the card.
