Mouse on the run!

My second card today was made for the "House Mouse Challenge Blog", house mouse stamps have become my new addiction, the images are lovely and they stamp so well! The theme for the challenge this week was an "all white" card. I have never made an all white card so this was quite a change for me. Recipe:

• House mouse "Bigfoot" coloured with Promarkers & watercoloured back round.
• CB embossed card (Swiss dots)
• Die cut Swirl
• Ribbon,lace,glitter,flower & gem to embellish

Really enjoyed this challenge for a change!
