House Mouse Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made today using House Mouse stamps! The first one is a 5"x7" card. I used a shimmery blue cardstock for the base. I then cut a piece of white cardstock 1/4" smaller. I then embossed it in my Cuttlebug, using one of the Winter Frolic Companion folders and adhered it to the card base. The umbrella is from Pagoda, cut at 5." The sentiment is from Cindy Loo, cut at 3" using the fit to length feature. I just used the "get well" and tossed the "soon" part of the sentiment. I added glossy accents to the sentiment. My image was stamped on some white cardstock and colored with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I then trimmed it down and cut a mat from shimmery blue cardstock 1/8" larger. I adhered it to the card base using foam tape. I made this card for these challenges:
My other card for today is 4 1/2"x6 1/4" and made from kraft cardstock. I cut a piece of light blue cardstock 1/4" smaller than the card base and embossed it with the Cherry Blossoms folder. I cut another piece of kraft cardstock at 4 5/8"x3 3/8" and some orange cardstock at 4 3/8"x3 1/8." I layered them together to be the mat for my image. I stamped it on white cardsock and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. I then trimmed it to 4 1/4"x3" and adhered it to the mats I created. I adhered that all down to the card base. I then wrapped it with some light blue ribbon and some orange ribbon. I then stamped my sentiement in pearlescent sky blue ink by Tsukineko onto some kraft cardstock. I cut it at 1 1/4"x5/8" and cut a mat for it from some orange cardstock, which is cut 1/8" larger. I used some pop-dots to adhere that in the middle of the ribbon.

I made this card for the following challenges:
