House Mouse Challenge - Recipe


I covered a card in red paper and added a mat cut from a sheet of 7 Gypsies paper. The scallop-edged mount was not an easy thing for me to make as I have no punches or machines to cut this out. I found a scallop-edged border from a scrapbook kit and cut round that, making sure it was lined up properly to create an even shape. The white band across the bottom is made of felt, with a ribbon on top, and I thought the shape of the two buttons complemented the red mat. When I finished I realised I'd made a Valentine's card in November!
