I am sneaking this one under the radar for the soon-to-end challenge over at House Mouse & Friends. The theme is House Mouse and A Friend OR Anything Goes, and I have chosen the latter option.
This stamp from House Mouse is called "Carry Mints"
The sweets reminded me of those yummy fruit and yoghurt candies, hence the colours.
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Sentiment is from Personal Impressions
Coloured cardstock from Papermania
Custom sized card base
I am also going to "squeak" this in at As You Like It for their Fur or Feathers challenge. So why do I prefer fur to feathers? Well, I have had some strange experiences with birds - for one, I am scared of chickens. Yes, chickens, they look at you sideways just before they attack you. When I was little, our budgie fell off his perch halfway through The Archers, I have been sworn at by a cockatiel, and as for seagulls!!! Anyway, I prefer the comforting softness of a warm and furry body, that I can stroke, and cuddle and sniff. And then find the Savlon afterwards (cheers Rosie).

I've known several people to be quite scared of birds in general, but never quite so specific as to diss just chickens. To each her own though! I don't mind birds but admiring them in the wild is as far as I want to go. Anywho... cute card with great colors. It makes me want a hard candy now! Yes, I am easily suggestible!
He's adorable. Lovely colouring too. Fab shading on those sweeties.

I had to smile at your reason for fur, my daughter would agree whole heartedly, she gets a little freaky when any kind of bird comes close. Love this House Mouse image and you colored him/her so beautifully! Thanks so much for joining us at AYLI Challenge this week! Brenda
