The March Design Divas challenge was to make a card with a reading theme. It was hosted by Gina of Makings and Musings. She has a wonderful blog, if you haven’t been there you should stop by and check it out.
I chose to use this House Mouse stamp called Smarty Pants and stamped it onto Rustic Cream cardstock with Burnt Umber ink. This little guy is into some serious reading! I think he is so cute! I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol (my favorite coloring medium when coloring House Mouse stamps.) I distressed the edges and added the green clip and used foam tape to adhere it to my card. The paper is some from my stash matted onto some Bazzill cardstock and tied with some blue satin ribbon. I sponged the edges of all my layers including the kraft card base with Colorbox Creamy Brown ink.

Great job with the challenge and thanks for the sweet words. I love that HM image! I love anything with books though, even one that has a math book! Awesome coloring.
This is perfect for the challenge...that I still haven't tackled yet. I love the overall look and especially the corner that's slightly turned. Beautiful!
