I used to be afraid of sketch challenges, but now I just love them! Here's a card made for the Sweet Sketch challenge based on this sketch: 
I've used a 3 different design papers, in addition to cardboard.The mouse is made with a stamp from "Country Companions" and I've colored it with watercolor pencils.
I've used ribbon, pearls and a flower with a pearl brad.
I felt that the card lacked "something", so I added a banner with a stamped birthday sentiment.
I enter this card into the following challenges;
1) Sweet Sketch - #167 Sketch
2) Crafty Catz - Animals
3) Little Red Wagon - #146 Animal
4) Paper Pretties - Square Cards (2nd entry)

Your design papers are the most perfect match for your card and so are your wonderful embellishments. This mouse is a darling and your card is just stunning.
