I created a 148mm square card using 300 gsm card.  I folded the top layer in half to create my easel front.  Using A5 card, Versafine Clair Cheerful ink and the numbers from Tim Holtz Perspective set I stamped a background with second generation ink.  I cut my background in two pieces, one for the main and one for the ledge.  I coloured white satin ribbon with Fossilised Amber ink, and edged all the stamped panel too.  I attached ribbon around the smaller background and adhered both backgrounds on the card.  


I stamped the House Mouse image onto watercolour card and coloured it.  I coloured a large snippet of white card with Fossilised Amber Distress ink and trimmed a  piece from that for the stamped sentiment.  I used the larger snippet as a matt for my stamped and watercoloured panel.


I die cut Crafters Companion ivy die, and two of my John Next Door flower dies with Sizzix card stock and created layered flowers.  I added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to the flowers and sentiment.  I love the end result, I think the lemon and blue work well together.  Back soon x
