This card was kind of fun I started out on a multicolored yellow paper I added a strip of wildly pattern paper along the left side, a strip of teal across the bottom with an orange zigzag, made with my special scissors and a black strip underneath that and then a polkadot strip up on the top.

Cute little gnome from paper shelter, colored in pencils, and I stamped the sentiment in black

Exhausted h mouse

For the new year start of 2026 I was lucky enough to get some new diecuts for Christmas and this happens to be one of them. I used a pre-printed paper for the top background and layered on the dye cut and my house mouse image placed in the bottom part of it with three gemstones. On this part of the card, I used inks for the background and pencils for the image I used inks on the sentiment and also a stitched, oval dye, cut all on white card stock. This poor little mouse is pooped out from the holidays.!
