House Mouse card - CCT DT sketch

Hello!

This week at Cute Card Thursday we have a sketch by Lynn.



I have decided to use this cute House Mouse stamp from the Fireplace set, which is originally Christmas themed, but I thought I would make a Birthday card instead. The sentiment is from Crafters Companion. I used my nesties and one background stamp from Whimsy Stamps; the rest is from stash.

This my card, I wanted to make a simple one this time (yeah, I know, which one of my cards isn't hehe)



The background is just a stamp, but a beautiful one, don't you agree? It's called Music Notes from Whimsy Stamps, I stamped it with brown ink on a white card base. The main image stamp is also Whimsy, Download Diva. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy. The lace and the ribbons are from stash.
