Awwww!

This little Country Companions cutie is adorable and can you believe was a magazine giveaway! I saw him on the lovely Sally's blog the other week and I knew I just neeeeeded to get him.


I've been hoping for the chance to colour up this little cutie, I've seen him on several blogs lately, I think lots of crafters were happy to find the lovely set of stamps on the front of 
January's Papercraft Inspirations magazine.


I coloured him with copics,paper pieced his shirt and added glossy accents to his boots and nose. After I'd finished the card I realised that I'd forgotten to add the recipients age so I used a tiny Nellie Snellen die cut and a hollograhic paperchase sticky padded dot and placed a number sticker on it to make it look like the mouse is wearing an age badge.



I added a button to the centre of  a die cut star and used a pen to ink stitches to the papers.


I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Birthday Sundaes 38, Birthday sentiment,
Allsorts 136, Paper piecing,
Catch The Bug January, Anything goes,
CUYL60, Bingo,Centre horizontal line,
Sweet Stampin, Spots
SCT4, Layers,
Ruby's Rainbow 19, For a child,
SSW 135, Sketch.
Have a good week,
Thanks for stopping by,

    I first met this little mouse when I was cross-stitching so was over the moon to see him as a stamp (not had a chance to use him yet). Love what you have done with him hunny, he looks so cute in his stripey jumper and fab age badge! Lovely choice of papers too. Brilliant. Hugs Sxx
