Chamomile Tea

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Friends, chosen by Sue Kment - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used an adorable decoupage image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Decoupage CD ROM.


My Papers are from Nitwit Collections and the sentiment is from a Paper Creator kit.  I have used a quite basic layout, I really don't think these gorgeous images need over designed backgrounds, I couldn't decide whether to centre the sentiment under the image or the whole card, on reflection I think it would have looked better in the centre of the card.


My only embellishments are some seam binding and a few gems.

Our fabulous sponsors for this challenge are:

House-Mouse Designs
Please check the challenge blog for full details.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The CD Sunday Challenge - Everything stops for tea
Come and Get It Challenge - Layer It On
Quirky Crafts Challenge 4 - Our Best Friend
Allsorts Challenge Week 299 - The colour purple

Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge - Animals
As You Like it Challenge 47 - Favourite CAS or Fussy & Why (Fussy because I love decoupage)

    Absolutely gorgeous card. Those papers are SO perfect for the image (which I think is perfect as it is ... off center). You've layered it all up so beautifully and kept the focus right where it should be ... on those adorable little mice.

    Hugs,
    Snoopy :D

    I've been wanting this CD for a long time. However, I have a Mac and it only comes in PC format. Can you tell me the name of the image? Perhaps I can find it in a stamp of some kind. I've looked but haven't been successful. Just LOVE you CAS card.
