Maisy Mouse by Conie Fong

 Hi peeps!  My Design Team card which features the delightful and super sweet "Maisy Mouse" by Conie Fong, found here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/985947816/digital-stamp-digi-stamp-digistamp-maisy?ref=shop_home_active_5&crt=1

There are six separate images included with this stamp set, including Cory, a darling little boy mouse.

Could she be any cuter?  I used Copics and Polychromos to colour the image.  I love pink and purple (my favourite colours) so I coloured the flowers with both.  I also drew the little scene.  I added Swarovski crystals to the large purple butterfly and tiny pearls on the other butterflies.

I made this card for Conie Fong's monthly challenge on Facebook for completed projects.  Conie also has a colouring only challenge:

Thank you so much for visiting.  I wish you a wonderful day.  Hugs, Lori xx
