Cooking it up with Katie, back with a new challenge!!

Hi and welcome to a new challenge, our first of the new year at Cooking it up with Katie and this time around Katie has a fab recipe for you, we want to see Buttons, ribbon and animals in your creations. I've used this cute house mouse stamp for my DT card this week

The crumpled gingham bp is from my stash, stamped and embossed with stitching stamps from Elusive Images around the edge and stitched flowers in the corners with tiny lilac buttons in the centres.

The image is coloured with promarkers, the stripey wallpaper in the background was also coloured with promarkers. The mirror is triple embossed with clear EP to give a little shine. The lilac gingham ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles: Purple Reign
I did it creations: Favourite technique (ooooh i have loads but heat embossing is one of my all time favourites)
Craft your passion: Anything goes
House Mouse and Friends: New beginnings (this is for a friend who is retiring from work, hope that counts as a new beginning)

Thanks for calling by today, I hope you'll find time to join in and create something with this weeks recipe.
