I have been so fortunate with my House Mouse stamps. First, many years ago, a dear friend gave me a pile of pre-stamped images to use. I was on a tight budget, and wanted to participate in the House Mouse weekly challenges (which I never did because I was hoarding the precious gift). A fellow scrapper, gone now, gave me two very large House Mouse Christmas stamps. Of course, I treasure those because they remind me of her. Recently another friend received BOXES of wood-mounted stamps. She picked out what she wanted and brought to our Open Stamping group about 200 "leftovers" for us to share. I wound up with a LOT more House Mouse! I have now un-mounted all except the very large ones, and have started stamping the images and coloring them.
Last week I made this card for a friend who has been under the weather. I thought this little mouse in a cuppa' might make her smile. I used Derwent Inktense pencils to watercolor the image (so easy-peasy!). The papers are all CTMH, the design paper from "Gimme Some Sugar". The silk hand-dyed ribbon is from my stash. It is an A2 card.

What a fun story about how you got your House Mouse stamps. Crafty friends are so generous! Your card is delightful. He's a funny one with that satisfied grin on his face. Your coloring is great and the card colors are lovely. Great job! :) Hugs!
