Mousey Music

Today's card was made for a 'Music' card swap.  It turned out so cute, I really hated to mail it off!  I used the House Mouse image called 'Tickling the Ivories'.



 
I colored this adorable image with my Copic markers and then used the Pink & Main Stitched Rounded Rectangle die for it and the sparkly gold patterned matting.  I also stamped a generic Happy Birthday and die cut it with a Fish Tail tag die.

After securing the patterned cardstock matting to the A2 sized card base, I added a strip of yellow gold cardstock across the card front near the bottom,  Next I added the colored image, tilting it slightly to allow more of the background paper to be seen.  Before adding the sentiment, I added a strip of fun foam to the back to give it a little extra dimension.  Twine and ribbon were too heavy for these tiny fellows, so I used the fine black quilting thread to wrap several times around the top flap.  Then I tied a loopy bow at the knot to complete the card design. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
