Paper Players Challenge #235 and Inkspirational #77

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for your kind comments from my DT spot announcement. I read all of them many times and they really warmed my heart. Thank you!

Today I am back with this card that I made for a few challenges in mind.

This is my entry to the Paper Players Challenge #235
and to Inkspirational  challenge #77.
This card was recognised as A Cut Above at Paper Players.

I had this really cool partly coloured idea in my mind for this weeks Muse. Lovely Michele, is our Muse this week so I wanted to participate but this card ended up being so far from her card that I can't submit this there. Thanks Michele for the inspiration anyway!

I also wanted to participate at Paper Players, they have a colour challenge this week and I love those. This time the colours are so pretty as well and when I saw that colour combo I thought about this really cute image from Purple Onion Designs. I have had this for about a half year but never had the time to colour it. My girl though, have coloured this many many times! At Inkspirational, there is Word Prompt - Sprinkle. I think this image will fits there as well. 

I started with stamping this sweet image with light brown ink onto a watercolour paper.  I did some "partly stamping", I mean I stamped the mouse and the flower separately to get them a little further away from each other. I also made the stem to be a little bit longer. Then I coloured the image with my Inktense pencils. I am not happy with my leaf colouring and this time I really put my mind into this, I went and google  also how to colour the leaves and I think I did better this time. Then I added a little dots with my Versamark pen on top of those "seeds" and added golden glitter embossing powder and heat set it. After my front panel was finished, I stamped the sentiment, and adhered the pink border underneath.
