Simon Says...Summer Fruits

What a lovely theme it is over on Simon Says this week....Summer Fruits. You can use fruits or fruit colours on your creation.

I've used this House Mouse image which I recieved in a recent swap amongst some of my fellow Stamptacular DT members, I think he's perfect for a fruity challenge. Coloured with watercolour pencils and copics. I thought it would be something a bit different to cut the image out as a sort of half circle so the shape looks a bit like a fruit segment. All papers are Funky Fairys - Feelin Fruity and Simply Brushed. The fruity looking flowers are Papermania, ric-rak was from a Do-Crafts goody bag from a few months back and the green brads are from my stash. Scalloped card base is from Craftwork Cards and I've inked the edge of each scallop in green or pink.

*************************

I'm meant to be adding an extra item today to my blog candy, but after taking pictures of some cards the batteries went in the camara before I could get a piccy of the extra goody, so please accept my apologies I will get it on for you probably later tomorrow when I get back from work.
