You would not believe the problems I've had trying to post this card, first when I downloaded the photographs I had taken, because of the angle I had taken the shots at, the little mouse looked like he had four ears and then when I tried to insert my watermark it kept coming up really huge, almost obliterating the entire image, even though the settings were all the same as usual. So back to the drawing board and start again.
I followed the sketch from Sketch 'n' Stash, I really like this sketch and this is the second card I have made using it. My card stock is Core'dinations and the sentiment tags are LOTV, I used my Fiskars edge punch on the central border and corner - the buttons and twine are from my stash.
This is a close up of the little poem for those of you who have not seen it before:
You can see the inside of my card and a little of the decoupage layers in this photograph:
