Last Card of 2011 :)

Hi everyone......hope you all had a lovely Christmas :)

I have finally managed to make it up to my craft room for a bit of crafting!! It seems ages ago since I last made a card!

I spotted these freebie stamps whilst shopping this week and they were too cute to resist! They are from this months issue of PaperCraft Inspirations.......there's a gorgeous hedgehog too and lots of mini stamps and sentiments.

I have stamped the shy little mouse and coloured with promarkers and prismas.......the t-shirt is paper pieced to coordinate with the patterned paper! The border all the way round is stamped with the mini stamps and the sentiment is from the set too :)

I am entering my card into the following challenges ~

I Love Promarkers #97 - Anything Goes...

Charisma Cardz #50 - Anything Goes...
