Today I am here to show you a House Mouse card that I made. I have not done a make with the mousey friends for ages and so decided it was definitely time. This time I made a belated birthday card for those “oops” moments that seem to happen more often with the increase in a certain number that my ID declares me to have.
The mousey image is from the Very Mice Coloring book. I printed him out onto Strathmore Paint Pad paper and colored him with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I then cut him out with a Hero Arts oval die and then cut another oval with the die one size bigger out of black cardstock and matted the image onto the black cardstock.

Happy Easter, Monica!
Your card is so funny, especially sentiment … 🙂 It all explains why the card is late 🙂 No, it's a joke, your ID card lies and has nothing to do with reality. Be healthy and safe, my dear Monica
