Hello friends, Isn't this new House Mouse Image the cutest? I am so glad that Spellbinders has partnered with House Mouse and brought in new images. I was inspired to add birch trees and snow after seeing THIS pretty card. The snow is done with Snowtex which is one of my favorite winter mediums, and I painted the birch trees with black acrylic paint mixed with water and painted with an old credit card. Everything else was painted with Daniel Smith watercolors. This is being entered in the HMFMC#402 which is Anything Goes with an option of rainbow. While you might not think of a rainbow when you see this card, I actually used a lot of colors in the painting: yellows, browns, pinks, reds, and blues. Some are not obvious because they are mixed with other colors or a very light. Thanks for dropping by. I have been a little under the weather lately, but I am feeling much better. Hugz, Nancy
