Pink Elephant challenge 16

Hi, hope everyone had a good Bank Holiday weekend??...I did we had quite a productive weekend, getting lots of jobs indoors and outdoors ticked off of the 'to do list'. Makes you feel good to de-clutter and be productive.

The card today is for the Pink Elephant challenge 16, which this week is a sketch challenge by Robin Willis. My card hasn't got the sentiment going across the card, so I hope its ok?

There isn't any stamping on my card today, I couldn't resist these cute little fellas, they are from PC Crafter and you can get loads and loads of clip art and some of them including this set of images 'Country Mice' by Laurie Furnell, also come as sketched images for you to colour yourself. You should take a look over there, there are some gorgeous images.

Apart from that, my 2 sons girlfriends are both expecting babies this year, so this card may come in handy.;-)

Here is a list of the materials I used;

Cardstock and sentiments ; K & Co Brenda Walton, 'small wonders'
Image; From PC Crafter, country mice
Ribbon, grosgrain from set from Ideal World
