Another Papertrey Casual Challenge!

Hey, look at me! I made a card! Actually, I made 3, but I have to save 2 for the Blog Hop later this week, lol lol! I am going to go to work tonight, so I am not going to be sick any more!

I used Berry Sorbet cs along with paper from the 12 x 12 pack of Pink Patterns. I think Pink Patterns may be the only 12 x 12 paper Papertrey has left! The Hoppers from House Mouse were stamped on Stamper's Select in Versafine Onyx black, then colored with Prisma marker Deco Pink and 20% Warm Grey. I do think the pink marches Sweet blush better when used in smaller amounts. The colored image is then layered in Sweet blush. The heart border punch is Fiskars, the scallop border punch is Stampin' Up! Berry Sorbet and Sweet Blush twill finish off the front.

The challenge 2 weeks ago was to make a card an odd size, and to pay attention to the envelope and the inside. This card is 7.25 by 6.5, and I was lucky to have this funny size parcel envelope around. the cute little bunny is a stamp I got eons ago, from Holly Pond Hill. It is so small it is hard to use, but works well on this envelope!. colored in SU markers. Why didn't I use the Prisma pink?? Because I was too lazy last night to heat the the Versafine on the envelope, and if I had used a Prisma without setting, the black would run!

The inside of the card is lame, I know... sorry! The cute bunny sentiment is from a SU bunny set.

Have I said this before? I have ambivalence about mice. I absolutely adore little animal images like Brambly Hedge and Holly Pond Hill. Little houses inside of trees with with little tea pots and little candlesticks... well, I just love that! I hate mice. They creep me out. When they get in the house I want them out. But, I don't want them dead! My 'religion', it you will, says they have every right to be in the world, and they are just trying to exist like me. No better no worse than I am. See the dilemma? So, I'm just not sure about the House Mouse stamps with the mice with long tails and well, they are mice! But they are cute! Should I feel ok or not ok?

Ahhh, but the Hoppers, now that is another story! A few weeks ago House Mouse had free shipping, so I took advantage!

Isn't this cute? The image would work for Valentines or Baby cards- this one is a baby card. The paper is an older SU pack- Petals and Paisleys. I colored the image with various watercolor pencils, but used SU's Old Olive watercolor crayon under the image- to match the paper. Paper, brad, ribbon all SU.
