I Pick You

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I created a sweet fall themed design using the Harvest Mouse stamp set.

I colored the pumpkin-toting mouse image with Copic markers, then carefully cut it out.  I used foam tape to adhere the mouse to a piece of blue gingham paper set across the top of an olive green card base.  The patterned paper was edged with narrow solid blue strips to set it off from the card base.  To ground the image, I tucked a tiny strip of grass, cut with a border punch, beneath it. 

I used a pair of stitched circle dies to cut a round frame from kraft cardstock for around the image.  It was adhered to the cardfront using foam tape.  The set's "I pick you" sentiment was stamped on a kraft fishtail flag strip and adhered to the card beneath the focal image.
