Today is a day that's been a few years in coming. 4 decades in fact. Yes, today is my 40th Birthday. It also happens to be Thanksgiving in the USA, so I also want to share my birthday happiness and thank all of you who read and comment on my blog, watch my videos and interact with me on Instagram. You can read about my Thank You GIVEAWAY below my card :)
To my card! I'm actually getting through my NBUS quite well - just as I get a whole load more as presents - but today's card had to be those Harvest Mice by MFT that I got in my recent win.
I started with a Kraft panel cut with my SSS Stitched Rectangle and stamped the mouse, sentiment and pumpkins, with a bit of masking, in VersaFine Onyx Black.
I then coloured with my Polychromos Pencils. If you haven't seen Stephanie Klauck's recent pencil colouring videos, please sit down with a cuppa and watch and be amazed!
Mr Mouse's purple shoes were chosen by my eldest who loves all things pink and purple.
I distress inked an A2 card panel with Wild Honey, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade and added the panel on top with foam tape, finishing off with some enamel dots.
*********************************************************************************************************
So onto the GIVEAWAY! I picked 4 things that I love - one for each decade.
1. Sven, the Avery Elle Viking.
2. A set from Clearly Besotted Stamps - some cute Bookworms.
3. A Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen in Crystal Clear
4. Some of Lucy's Shaker Sequins - these are Twinkle Lights.
Here they are
And I'll send them to you in one of my pouches that I've become slightly addicted to making. They will fit Copics, if you have any, and I use mine for taking on holiday with me.
All you have to do is add your link to the linky tool below and I will draw a winner. It would be nice if you said Hello too in the comments :)
Here is a list of the supplies I used on this card. I have signed up to affiliate links on some products (at present only through Simon Says Stamp). If you purchase any item after clicking on an affiliate link, I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

What a delightfully cute card Ruth and thank you for a generous giveaway!
It's such a sweet card, I just love the look of pencil on kraft! Love the choice of purple shoes too! I never distress ink a background panel and use it in that way but it looks so effective, so I shall!! Happy birthday once again! Xxx
Once again - happy birthday! Wow I didn't know it was such a round one! :-) hope you're having a fabulous day! Thanks for celebrating with us, too - such a lovely giveaway, and the addition of your pouch makes it extra special!!!
Hello! No, seriously, Happy Birthday Ruth. Hope you have a wonderful day and are spoilt rotten! Seeing the Viking stamp reminds me of your watermelon version. So fun! Love your sweet harvest mouse as well.
Hugs, Marianne x
