Wishing you brighter days

It's sketch time at Just Add Ink this week, which if I have to be honest makes the card design easier. I was tossing and turning between using DSP or 2 different embossing folders for the panels. I'm also playing along with Tic, Tac, Toe challenges too using "embellishment, animal and free".

I knew I wanted to use a cute mouse and an umbrella stamp I owned and after one false start with another set of DSP and a change of mind I settled on the SAB DSP I earnt at the start of the year from Stampin' Up! called Sunshine & Rainbows. 

I chose the green rainbows as they were pretty but not overpowering the cute image. The colours of Copic I chose to colour the mice in were the Copic equivalents of SU! colours in the DSP which are Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Moonlight Madness, Soft Sea Foam and Bermuda Bay. I have used Wink of Stella on the umbrella and Stardust stickles on the outfit's "fur". I have fussy cut everything out.
