Sweet friends

Today I have another mousey make to show you.

This image is also from the Very Mice Coloring book and is titled "summer's sweet scent". I have wanted to color this up for a while and since the current House Mouse challenge features multiples, this image of Monica and her furry friend was just perfect.

I printed the image on Canson Mi Tientes paper and colored it using my Prismacolor colored pencils. I had found the plaid patterned paper in my stash and thought it would make the perfect background and so coordinated the pencil colors on the flowers. I also added a few clouds in the background, this was my first attempt at free handing clouds in a background.

I then cut the image out with a stitched oval die and adhered it to the patterned paper which I had, in turn, cut out with a stitched rectangle die.

I added a sweet sentiment from my stash that I had stamped onto yellow cardstock with Vesafine Onyx Black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Using a stitched circle die, I cut the sentiment out and popped it up with foam tape. I also added a green leaf sprig die cut.
