The verse is also by Stampabilities, @House-Mouse Designs, Inc.
 House-Mouse Designs®

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black (to stamp image), Studio G's Blue Hues(for sponging panels), Copics (for coloring image)

Paper; White CS, Black CS

Accessories: Spellbinders A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threaded Frame Die, Silver Adhesive flatback Pearls, Glittered polkadot Ribbon, (that sparkles but pic doesnt show it).


Techniques;  Lots of Sponging
I threaded the same type of the top ribbon directly into the frame panel openings at the bottom. The Mousey's tail was popped up by cutting around it (did this cut directly into my frame right behind the sentiment panel), then overlapped the tail on the sentiment panel to add a little dimension.
 
Im crazy for how Ive colored this, but it's TROLLS, heheheh...and it was FUN to make. 

Hope you can play along with us.
