This card was made for a challenge over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge Blog http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/
The challenge is to make a card for a Mother - could be your sister, mother, daughter or friend - anyone who is a Mother. You have to use at least one House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image on your card or project.
I made this one for one of my Sisters (I have two that are big into quilting - so I will have to make another similar card).
The stamp image is called Quilter's Guild - I stamped image twice onto whisper white and coloured it with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. Cut out part of one image and popped it up with foam tape. Matted with pumpkin pie. The dp is from My Minds Eye - it is a double sided dp. I thought the flowered dp looked like the quilt the little critters are working on. I sewed square blocks on the dp - to imitate the quilt. The lighter coloured orange paper on the bottom was run through the CB with swiss dot folder. Added the photo corners,sentiment, ribbon and flower embellishment.
