Down in the Garden

This card was made for entry into the Joanna Sheen challenge blog "Down in the Garden"
http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/down-in-garden.html


I used pearlescent kraft card blank and embossed two diagonal corners with a cuttlebug embossing folder leafy branch, added a strip of mushroom patterned ribbon and a panel of woodgrain paper embossed with birds and swirls Cuttlebug folder.  The image is from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Project book cd-rom, I decoupaged one of the little mice and inked the edges a little with vintage photo distress ink before mounting it on a bronze coloured handmade paper mat.  Finished with a couple of little gold clothes pegs and a computer-generated sentiment printed on a scrap of cream paper (which I scored to make it pleated) and punched with a Fiskars border punch.

Hope you are all having a good weekend and enjoying blog hopping like me!
