Take Time to smell the flowers

Hello my lovelies, hope you are all well and have had a bit of crafty time this week. When l saw the new challenge at House Mouse l wanted to join in the fun, it has been quite a while since l have used a House Mouse stamp so l blew the dust off the unused stamps, picked this one out and introduced it to ink, it is one of the stamps l bought from my friend Angie a long time back - (if you still drop by Angie l still have a few more to use up).  I have also decided l need to use my dies more as they are just sitting in a box as well.  So here it is - hope you like it, l have been a bit adventurous and the lace and butterflies are off the edge - l keeping seeing cards with parts off the edge and they always make it looks so pretty but l find it hard to do this - same as placing paper at angles lol.



Inside View



Stamp House Mouse - Take time to smell the flowers 
Coloured with copics and prisma pencils

Just thought l would share this photo of Toby - he is the master of the conservatory and normally sits on top of the settee watching out for passers by/ squirrels and birds but must have been too exhausted today  lol, l have been known to lie in there in sunshine and fall asleep  - not a pretty picture.

    Wonderful, pretty card, Susan. Great die cuts and that HM image is adorable.
    What is it with dogs and sofa's? Mine do exactly the same and they look so sweet that I never have the heart to disturb them. They're not stupid. Must just be me then :D !! xx

    Such a lovely adventure. You really can't go wrong with a sweet HM image, and this one is so cute (now I gotta check if I have this one!). Colored with your usual perfection. I am loving that S/B, so nice with this image. I also liked your adventures with the lace & butterflies. Turned out super. I need to take your lead & try this too. It made a beautiful card. Also enjoyed seeing Toby sacked out on the sofa. A contented being for sure! TFS & Hugs

    What a sweet card. I like all the lacy bits, including the butterflies that are flitting off the page. I think I could join the pup for a nap right about now.
