Sewing mouse

It's Thursday and time for an OLDIE BUT GOODIE over at Catch the Bug and a new challenge over at Outlawz Twisted Thursday. This week the optional twist - or theme - is "LAYERED CARD".

The image is called Sewing Mouse - needle and is colored with Promarkers and a silver metallic gel pen for the needle. I used a past Saturday Sketch as inspiration.

The sentiment is heat embossed on velum and is from the same set as the bobbins that came free with a magazine at some point. I decorated the bobbins with dark blue and pink thread.

The background is embossed using an EF with buttons and I used sandpaper to enhance the pattern.

DPs from Pebbles, pink sequins from stash.


This card is also for these challenges:
Sketch Saturday - Pick ANY sketch 215-375
Digi Choosday Challenge - #35 In The Pink
Fan-Tastic Tuesday - #99 Anything Goes with a twist "Make It Cute"

    Cute and gorgeous card; I have bought vellum several times, but they seems to vanish somewhere, no one around when needed.
    Happy weekend; I'm going to the Craft Camp;-))m

    I love your card, Pia. The sketch is awesome and I love the color scheme. I have totally forgotten about grays and pink together. It makes such a nice color combo.

    This cute image reminds me of one of the mice in the old Disney Cinderella animated movie when the mice are all helping Cinders to sew a ball gown. He is such a cutie and I love your sentiment embossed on vellum and your little sewing embellishments. Thank you for playing along with us at Sketch Saturday with this delightful card! Hugs, Lesley
