Thanks a Bunch

It's time for a fabulous new challenge at House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge and our theme for this fortnight is Use a House Mouse Stamp you haven't used before hosted by America, for my card I've used a fabulous Gruffie stamp called 'Thanks a Bunch' from Joanna Sheen.


You've probably guessed that it's a Thank You card, I've kept things quite simple as it will be posted.

I coloured my Gruffie with a combination of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and die cut a small border with my lovely new Die-namics Mini Scallop Edging Border die.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped onto a banner cut with a Die-namics Fishtail die.  The papers are Pink Petticoat and the button and twine are both from my stash.

We are sponsored by the fabulous

and one very Lucky Player will receive a RANDOM ASSORTMENT of some of these Premium Dye Ink Pads

    Pauline, oh so sweet and pretty. You could not have picked a better paper than the one you did. It's gorgeous. I love the clean lines of this card letting the stamp be the star. Enjoy your day.

    This is a very pretty card. I like the way you colored your image and the lavender gingham is perfect to offset the lilacs.
