This is a first for me. I saw a commercial card that had the cutest little mouse so I went home and carved a little mouse stamp (took three tries to get it right), and spent the next two days making this card. I used SU Fern stamp (one of my alltime favorites) and the Leaf Prints roller. Color scheme is Eggplant, Mellow Moss, 180 pound Arches watercolor paper, copper paper. I used a lot of watercolor touch-up. I also used a fine-tip Micron pen for detail.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe you carved that beautiful stamp yourself! You have some real talent. If you ever start your own company let me know! I'd buy that stamp in a minute! Gorgeous card! The ferns are perfect with that adorable mouse! The wood is awesome! LOVE everything about it!
