Happiness is found in the little things in life, like having some control over one's hands, and being able to sit up without support.I was especially inspired this week by the House Mouse and Friends Challenge Blog.
It is all about ATC Turnabouts. An ATC Turnabout is taking your finished ATC and placing it on a card.
The ATC was created using the House Mouse "Chocolate Delight" image. It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and the solvent blender marker also by Prismacolor.
My card is also detailed using the Unscripted Sketches Challenge #180 Sketch.
All the Challenge links to which this card is submitted are shown below.
After the base layer was attached, the glitter was spooned on, and burnished. I like using wax paper for burnishing, unlike naked fingers, because it slides right over intricately-cut borders and die cuts.

So beautiful Donna ! Love the cute mice eating chocolate and your coloring is fabulous ! Also adore the flowers & flourish. This makes me smile again ! Hope your day is going well, Shirleyxx
So, so cute! What an adorable little image - colored so well. Love all the dots and circles and you've even incorporated the sewing machine! You definitely are on a roll Donna!! Congrats!
Hi Donna, thanks for visiting my blog. Love your card, Penny Black makes such sweet stamps! Hugs Frea
Love that House Mouse stamp, Donna! Too cute. This is a fabulous card, and I think it should have been a candy bar wrap. Then you could send it to me and I've love it even more, as I munched the chocolate. :-D Hugs, my friend.
Great project! Nicely composed, beautifully colored and artfully embellished! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Eclecticellapu!

Lovely card. You can't go wrong with purple and green. This image is adorable and you did a wonderful coloring job with it. I really like the sparkle and flowers. Your stitching is very nice (I don't have enough nerve to try it). I don't think anyone, including myself, would have noticed that your image was not completely straight. You did a great job of hiding what you think was a boo boo. I still can't see a problem with it. Enjoy your week.
What a precious card. Such a cute image and I love your flourishes and flowers. Now I need some chocolate!!
Extra sweet card with all that chocolate. Sentiment is perfect. Love the colors you chose too. Thanks for joining us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Oh my, Donna! Such a beautiful card! Your coloring is superb and all of the embellies are so neat. I'm so gladd your hands and back are working better as everyone loves your creativity and you do such a great job! I also love the idea of using wax paper to burnish. Take care.
What a creative use of the sketch ... love those flourishes ... so glad you joined us at Unscripted Sketches.
Hi Donna, Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love that adorable image and the colourful background you have created (though I am now craving a chocolate truffle...) Your design looks amazing - beautiful papers, flowers and glittery border. Thanks for another great tip! and thanks for sharing with us at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.
Hugs, Dawn
What a "sweet" card. I love all the different textures of card stock design you used. Your handmade flowers are really pretty and really look great with your swirly leaves!! You should have saved this card til Saturday, it's Sweetest Day and it would have been perfect for that celebration.
Funny how those little crafting accidents adds the perfect touch to the card-totally unintentionally! Great card! Thanks for sharing with us at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge! ♥ Sue Kment
