New Beginnings - Feeling Rosy




 having a Blog Hop as part of their challenge #86. One of the things to do is enter a card using a house mouse stamp that reminds you of some type of new beginnings. I chose this specific stamp as it is a Christmas gift and this is the first time I've used it: a new beginning in a way.  My son and his girl friend have decided to drink more tea and less coffee, this stamp reflects a mouse rejoicing in that new beginning. lol!

The crew over at Creative Card  have also chosen New Beginnings for their theme this week. Can be anything new.

I created this card based on the sketch from Mojo Mondays for this week. What wonderful sketches they have.

Instylestamps have a colour challenge this week : use the colours purple, silver and white and including a bit of sparkle.I have added sparkle to the mouse's hair, and on the teacup decorative stripe and on the Rose Hip tea tag. Not that easy to see, sorry. This was also my attempt to add some silver to the card.
