Hello, House Mouse lovers!
Happy Valentine's Day to you!
Today's sweet little Valentine is done in unconventional colors for my hubby, and being submitted to House Mouse Anything Goes with optional theme of "Sweets or Hearts". Perfect for this stamp!
I saw the image on Bunny's Blog, and had to have it.
(thanks, Bunny!)
Colored with Copic Markers and die base inks, this little mousie is happily reading all about his fabulous characteristics. One of my great joys throughout the day is reminding Jacky of the various qualities I enjoy about him, or expressing my appreciation for all those drudgery things he does. Every Day. Hearing appreciation really does brighten our days, doesn't it?
My wonky frame was made from white paper, smooshed with VersaMark and heat set with sparkly Sienna Star embossing powder.
Jacky always says, "You are my Favor-ITE" with emphasis on the long "I" sound.
The Stamp may be new, but everything else is old, old, old.
Thanks for stopping by, and best wishes from a sweet day!

You always achieve so much dimension with your coloring, Donna, and this card is no exception. I love how you've colored the background behind the words on the love letter and that present looks like it wants to pop right off the card it's so 3D. Gorgeous work again, Donna.
Hi, Donna! This is soooo cute and fun! I remember seeing this on Bunny's blog too and it cracked me up. It's the "seedy breath" that gets me every time! Adorable card, my friend! You've got a good man there, Donna; you are very lucky, and he is lucky to have you as well!
A wondeful card Donna, I think this is my favourite House-Mouse image - I just love that little rhyme. Your unconventional colours are fabulous and you have included lots of super details as always.

There you go again with those pro illustrationist talents! This is all ready for a story book IMHO. One day I want to be that pesty fly in your craft room to see how you create such gorgeous card with nothing but a mouse stamp. You are one amazing artist, Donna! Hugs!!

I think I am in love Donna, this card is gorgeous and very very cute. So much nicer than I gave Andrew ... oops ... didn't make him one.
Beautiful matting and layering (wouldn't expect anything less). It's always so nice to add something that is special just to each other.

Sweet card, gorgeous layers :) Sorry I have not been in blogland lately, but all is well. I hope you are doing well, hugs x
What a fun card in non-traditional colors. I'm sure Jack loved it. I love House Mouse, and though I only have a few stamps, they are some of my favorites. :-)
Oh, Donna, I laughed out loud at all the things the little mousie loves about her partner! Way too cute! You're way too clever with your card designs and all the elements you put together. Expert coloring, too! Love the nontraditional colors. Adorable!!
This image makes me laugh every time I read the note. Love the non traditional colors you chose, and the fun unique card design. Another beauty my friend. Thanks for sharing it with us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.

Oh my that stamp is just way too cute, I love the little message on it and that the inside goes with what he usually says, what a keeper this sweet card is, I bet he got a kick out of it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Fabulous card Donna, I love the House Mouse image, so cute!

Donna, this little mouse is just adorable, and I bet your hubby had a good giggle over this! You did an amazing job of coloring this sweet image and I love your card design, especially that gold angled frame. I hope you had some wonderful moments on Valentine's Day! Sending hugs!
This is so darn cute Donna. As always you layout & colouring is awesome. Love that sentiment too.

That's such a precious image, Donna, and you know how I love House Mousies myself. :-D Fabulous coloring and I think using green instead of red is a fantastic idea. So delightfully unexpected. Wonderful offset framing!

Oh my, sweet Donna, this is just the sweetest and dearest Valentine card ever! I love the sweet mouse and the adorable things "she" loves about her "Jacky!" Ah, made me smile big -- especially since I feel the same about my dear Walt. We are blessed. And what a card! I love the wonky layout with the beautiful rectangle frame that you embossed so beautifully! Wow! Wow! Loving it, and you are so dear!! Warm, sunny hugs...don't we just love this time of year?! xoxo
Aw, isn’t this the most adorable image and sentiment in one. Super layout and layering, sweet but not too sweet for a man.
It's a precious way to show J how much you love & appreciate all he does for you....and I chuckled at the sentiments....this is one cute mousie, and I liked the green! TFS & Hope you both had a super V. Day. Hugs
