This 1st card was colored with my Copics and then cut with The Greetery's Crimped Circle Dies. Next I worked on my background using Taylored Expressions Fall Foliage stamp and stencil set and then die cut it using The Greetery's Crimped Rectangle Dies so it would match with the circle die cut.
Doesn't he just melt your heart hanging by the branch and surrounded by leaves?! I matted my stenciled background with a piece of black and then mounted to a white card base. I finished with a little embossed strip sentiment (from the Mice & Cozy set) and a few Sparkling Champagne Pearls (PFS).
I hadn't made a book binding fold card in awhile, and this last image seemed to fit it really well! I colored the image with my Copics again and then used PFS's Rounded & Braided Rectangle Dies (Didn't use the braided dies...just the plain one as I like the simple rounded corners.) My card base is kraft and I embossed another kraft panel with FSJ Fall Foliage ef and then ran a kraft ink pad over the raised areas. I trimmed the panel down a bit to fit the book binding section and the main section of the card before adding the stamped image with foam tape.
I tied twine around the book binding portion of the card and thought about adding a few gems, but decided on just a real light touch of glitter on the pinecone. This card's more muted than the first card, but it totally makes me think warm and cozy.
I'll be adding both these cards to the Four Seasons Challenge where anything Fall related goes. This challenge is open till Sunday, Oct. 25th to play along. Happy Fall y'all!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Oh, Marcia! I LOve your little meeces to pieces! Your Copic coloring is out of this world! Would you believe I like the neutral one the best? but you know you always make me crave pie when those crimping dies come out so I love the leafy one, too. Hang on little dude!

Another adorable mouse in the house! I love these images, as you know, and your backgrounds are both amazing -- love those fall leaves!
You have really brought those mice to life with your fabulous coloring, Marcia. The leafy backgrounds are perfect for Fall cards, whether colored or antiqued.
These are absolutely adorable, Marcia! Congrats on your win at Freshly Made Sketches!
I wonder if that first mouse is hanging from the branch or swinging on the branches! Whichever, it looks like fun and the stenciled leaves make a fabulous background! I love the muted shades on the second card and always love that fold! Both have adorable mice and so beautifully colored! Hello fall!
More sweetness! Gosh, Marcia I can't pick a favorite. They're both darling!
Two more fun cards with those cute mouse images. Love the fun fold on the 2nd card.
Oh my goodness Marcia, you're killing me with all these cute mice cards! Your background are amazing and those darling mice, I just can't get over how cute they are.
OMG these are both just awesome! The images are so so cute! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Four Seasons challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

My heart is completely stolen! These darling little mice are living their best lives on your fabulous cards. I'm especially taken with the book bound embossed kraft. That looks so amazing!
