Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Here Comes Summer

Please scroll down for my Penny Black Saturday Challenge DT post

*******************************************************


This week at the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, it's Bridget's turn to choose the theme, which is:

'Here comes summer'
(We'd like to see something that reminds you of summer on your project)

Strawberries are like summer in a bowl to me...so I chose to use this cute House Mouse image that was sent to me in a swap (sorry I don't know the name of the stamp), which I coloured using watercolour pencils. The paper is from the 'Hello Luscious' pad by BasicGrey, and as it's so busy, I just used one sheet, distressing the edges and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen. The big bow is tied using seambinding ribbon.


Here's a different view:


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
