HMFMC 120 Circles & Polka Dots

Well I'm back home and finally got around to making a card today.  After looking at the picture I noticed that my card is not at all lined up straight.  I'll have to try to fix that before I send it to someone.
Anyway over at House Mouse and Friends they challenged us to make a card using Circles, Polka Dots and All Around Fun this week. Here is what I came up with.

I used the image titled Napping On A Thistle and colored it with Copic Markers.  For my background paper I made circles using a small dauber with SU's Lavender Lace Ink and then stamped Mouse Feet in each circle.  The green polka dotted paper is from a retired SU 6 x 6 pad.  I also added some dots around my Circle Nestibility so I think this card meets the requirements.  I relied on my trusty Krylon Gold Leaf Pen to outline the circle and the square pieces.  I made a two toned bow with SU ribbons and added a SU sentiment to a MS tag.  Boy, It was tough to wrap my head around an idea for this card after not crafting for three weeks.  I hope to get some more cards made tomorrow as our weather calls for rain, so I will, hopefully, stay inside and create.  Hopefully being the operative word here.
I wish you all a great evening.   Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi.

  15. Oh, Donna, I have missed your cards while you were gone! This House Mouse stamp is one of my absolute favorites (but, I have so many HM favs!!) and you've colored it so beautifully. Doesn't seem like it's taken much for you to be back in top creating form. Love all the mouse prints on the bg paper! :-D Hugz.
