House Mouse Challenge Blog - 2nd anniversary!

I wanted to help the House Mouse Monday Challenge blog celebrate their 2nd birthday (Challenge #78), and I really tried my bestest to use their sketch..... but I could not get it to work for me. So here is the sketch... and my card... it has some "inspired elements" so maybe they will let me play anyway........
Use your imagination, ok........? This is the Wishin' Well stamp from House Mouse's Happy Hoppers line - the scene is watercolored with a variety of stuff... reinkers mixed with Shimmerz, markers, Twinkling H2os, and Derwent WC pencils. I think that was all..... (!) I sketched in lots of grass, inspired by the Shabby Tea Room's challenge (#27) to use natural elements, images, or green. I used Twinks on the coins so they're sparkly, and covered the jar with a clear Glaze pen (Sakura).

Oh right --- there is Flower Soft on the bunny tails... couldn't help myself!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
