The Library - The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse

At The Library, the book is The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse. 
Usborne-Town-Mouse-and-the-Country-Mouse-c2007-NEW-Hardcover

For my first card, I used various stamp sets to create a scene where the two mice meet, with their homes in the background. I coloured it with Promarkers.

I'd like to enter the first card into:
Shopping Our Stash friendship



I know what you're thinking about my second project (hopefully not 'what a mess!') - 'Where is the mouse?' Well, my friend, YOU are the mouse, peeping through the undergrowth at your windmill home in the distance. ( I always think of mice living in windmills, due to my favourite childhood song). 

The base of this postcard is a real old library card , one of several kindly sent to me a while back by fellow crafter Mimi (She's Crafty ) - it was this card that inspired me to choose this story. 

I used Brushos and stamps from different sets. 

I'd like to enter:

I hope you'll join in the challenge at The Library.

    Oh my word, I love this story! It's still one I read with the kids at school. What a fabulous little scene you've created. I love your second card too - very arty! Jo x
