Good Evening Ladies, yes I know its another late one but Ive been trying to find a image amoung my House Mouse stamps that could be used for this Challenge which is "New Beginings" and Ive decided after much deliberation to use this one and call it New Friends, and Im hoping I will be allowed to get away with that.
Ive stamped the image onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens afterwhich I cut it out with my Nestabilitie Label Die No.7 and then drew around the die to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one of C&C stamps and thought it was just right for this image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of green pearlescent card and one of three papers from Summer Driggs Free Downloads this one is called "Inspiration" and the first paper is an all over flower pattern in several colours, the second is a beige paper with white flowers and Ive used my new Martha Stewart border punch Cherish down the edges and the third a green check paper this was mounted onto another piece of the green card and stuck down the middle of the card.
I then positioned my mounted image in the middle and my sentiment below this was attached with pearl brads, and created two swirls with some green pearls, to finish of Ive used two more papers from the same digi paper set and created two flowers and with some punched out leaves in shades of brown stuck it to the top left handside with some silicone glue.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:
I think that this card works brilliantly for a new friendship Shirley, and what a fabulous card it is.. I really must dust off my house mouse stamps and get some coloured up.. they are adorable..xx

This is beautiful, Shirley. I am a bit hesitant to buy a HM stamp as I'm not sure I'd colour it very well. Do you do it in a particular way? They are so sweet, though, aren't they?
