I’ve not seen this stamp before. It’s perfect for this challenge! Really cute card 🙂
Love the texture of the gold foil & the bottle top colouring. That mouse is really hanging on by his claws. The whole card design is stunning with that classic patterned paper – I could think of this as a card for someone who doesn’t do cute too. Brilliant.

After seeing your adorable card I spent most of this day looking for the stamp and had no success in finding it. My sister has an anniversary coming up in a week and she loves the house mouse mice. Is this a retired stamp? If it is still available do you know where I can get one or might you be willing to stamp one out in black on a piece of plain white computer paper and emailing it to me. I am willing to compensate you for it.
Thank you,
Nancy Huntley
