Hi Everyone...this card is for our Teapotters Challenge # 365
This week our destination is each other! Once a month, we send our cards to each other! A little payback and reward to the teapotters for always sending their cards to the recipient of the Destination Station.
I think we were suppose to make a story...well here goes;
My little mouse went to visit Mrs. Potter, but they were not home...so he decided to go down to the shore and wait for their return, and he climbed into his nut shell and fell asleep...sure hope he awakes in time for a visit and a nice cup of Tea!!
I chose my new set of House Mouse, in a nutshell... enjoying the water, breeze, and the sun...It looks better in real life...I Hope...lol, But I used a LOTV artpad for the BG, and coloured HM and cut him out and popped him up, but think it would have been better to leave out the water around the shell, oh well.next time......
I used Flower soft ultra fine "Toffee" on the rocks, and waters edge...went up into the cliffs..and maybe shouldn't have...we see less and less of the scenery...oh well...the clouds are a nice touch, they come with little rain drops too...I love them!
Thanks for Looking

AWE what a sweet scene....I think he better watch out for his toes tho, those crabs are gettin' a little close. those look like nice fluffy clouds maybe in between summer dreams the little guy sees different shapes in them. The art pad made a wonderful bg and you did so well with the coloring will be a super fun card to receive...TFS..:0)...HUGS

This looks like me last week on vacation...I was floating on an air mattress on a lake (but I didn't float away..I tied a string from my wrist to the dock..lol). I love your little HM..he looks so peaceful in that nutshell. Your bg is perfect...the flower soft adds such a realistic touch to the water. Darling card Jan ;)

So very cute, he looks so comfy just sleeping away--no telling where he might float off tooo and those creatures look like they are heading for his toes. Great scene and card.

I think it looks as if he had floated down to the shore on a lily pad from a river, the water round the nutshell works like that for me. The little crabs are sweet - and I'm sure they're pretty curious - if one of them nips his tail he'll wake up with a shock. Your background paper is beautiful.
