House Mouse Thank You

This card came about after a bit of a tidy up session in my craft room. These little creatures popped up from under some cardstock and I couldn't resist using them. These little mice would brighten anybodys day and they are just so cute. They are from a set of decoupage sheets(Joanna Sheen) which I bought earlier in the year.It made a nice change from the christmas cards and the colours I have been using lately.
The backing papers are from Dovecraft. I have used Marrianne dies for the flourishes and the border strip, which i have threaded some ribbon through. Finally adding a bow and flower for embellishments.
The flowers were made using spellbinder dies with gems added in the middle of them.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge 133 - sketch
