My card today is for our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge. The theme is Friendship, I colored the cute House Mouse stamped image this last summer but didn't have a nice sketch/layout for it. Splitcoast Stampers has the perfect sketch #355 and I had lots of fun making the card!
I'm sorry I couldn't find the scrap of paper I wrote the Copic marker color numbers on. That's one of the pitfalls of setting aside a colored image. The patterned paper was a scrap I'd air brushed with Copic markers and stamped using Copic blending solution and a background stamp.
The other cardstock colors are Mohawk Bright White, Neenah Solar White, Stampin' Up! Pumpkin Pie & Garden Green and Astro Brights Galaxy Gold (the closest I could find to the retired Stampin' Up! Summer Sun). The sentiment is from a Papertrey Ink stamp set called Signature Greetings and is cut out with Spellbinders Mega Ovals and Mega Scalloped Ovals. I added three color enhanced (G28) Dew Drops for balance and the embossed panel is made with a polka dot Cuttlebug 5 X 7 embossing folder.

Beautiful. . . as usual! How do you do that and do you give instruction?
Jan,
WOW! Your cards are always so pretty! Love that custom-made-paper strip.
Absolutely love your coloring of this sweet image! A very relaxing image and an upbeat, happy card!
I'm such a fan of House Mouse stamps, there is not one that is not ADORABLE!! They are perfect for water coloring, which is my favorite way to color my images. Your card is amazing, I have one of this stamps but it has two little mice instead of one, laying on top of two gorgeous sun flowers.
Your custom made paper strip is gorgeous, I wonder how you did it.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and happy card.
Have a great Sunday.
