Lisa gave us a fun challenge today to use bugs, any kind, on our cards. I pulled out this old HM image; i've had it for so long the stamp company printed on the block is Stampa Rosa. I believe all the HM images are all now owned by Stampabilities. My inside message is the title of this upload and was made by Stampabilities as part of the HM line.
I colored my mice and dragonfly with Copics. The dragonfly wings are covered with clear Wink of Stella. The background is a water color wash with a pretty blue shade of Twinkling H2Os, Ocean Wave. I sprinkled on a few sequins and added my greeting. I will put this in my stash for a graduation card. TFL!

Lovely card...who can resist those HM mice and how do they come up with all the different activities for them! I really like the wc wash for the bg and I bet that wink of Stella looks great on the wings. Sparkly!

Great sentiment (inside) for a graduation and fun image with these little mice flying free into the great unknown just like most grads! Lovely watercolor was and coloring on your image.
