HMFMC Mid Way Reminder

Happy Monday - I'm here with my mid week reminder card for House Mouse & Friends Challenge #169 Sunny Days.  Our teamie Sue Drees picked this fun theme for us.  Sometimes there is nothing better than taking a little nap on a sunny day and wouldn't life be grand if we could do that atop a beautiful flower? I think so. Here is my card.

  This image is titled Napping On A Thistle, colored with Copics.  I punched the top and bottom with an older scallop punch from SU!.  The paper is from a pack I got at Christmas Tree Shop.  I just added some thin black strips and some gems and called it a day.  Won't you stop by the House Mouse & Friends main page to get some wonderful inspiration from my team mates.  You could also win some terrific prizes.

  1. Donna, your card is so sweet and beautiful at the same time. The added strips really sent your card over the top. Beautifully done.

    Sleeping atop a beautiful flower would be awesome and probably smell good, too. Hubby and I walked in the park yesterday. Through the wooded areas, everything smelled so good. There was honeysuckle in the woods, too, and you know how wonderful that is.

  6. Awww, this is a precious card Donna! I love how cute that little mouse is sleeping on an open flower of a thistle. I'm glad he is on the flower because thistle hurt! lol Sleeping on those leaves would not be comfortable at all. Love that paper you used and love how you framed out the card with the black stripes of paper. Love the punched top and bottom too. Hugs
