Feel Better Mice

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

Our challenge was to use flags on our card. I stamped the mice and colored them with Copic Markers. I used watercolor pencils to color the ground and shadows. I stamped my greeting on white cardstock then cut them into flags and added them to the paintbrushes with a dimensional. This will go to a friend who hurt her back.

Oh, this is really cute. Great idea to use the paint brushes as flag poles. Thanks for playing in my challenge.

Such a cheerful take on the flag challenge. The mice look wonderfully animated with your smooth Copic shading, and the soft watercolor pencil grounding gives them a natural place to stand without overpowering the scene. The little flag sentiments tucked onto the paintbrushes are such a clever detail and add a sweet bit of movement. A bright, uplifting card that is sure to bring comfort to your friend.
