"Winter Scenes"

Last week I went with my kids to the BIG CITY of St. Louis, MO for Thanksgiving. I really didn't like driving in the city with the traffic, and the closer I got to my rural country home, the more relaxed I got. It made me think of Aesop's fable about the city mouse and the country mouse. That was my inspiration for my card. I "stamped" my mouse using my thumb and finger prints. I outlined him with a black pen. Then I masked him and stamped the city scene. I cut it in an oval to make it a focal point. I thought that the golden dp made it look like the "glow" of the city at night. I used my computer to print out this poem.

"City Mouse with your buildings so tall, can't compare to my country house at all"

Now you might wonder what kind of occasion, or to whom could I send a card like this. Well, I actually have someone in mind. My sister just recently moved from the country to the big city. Last week she was having to drive at night in the big city and was very worried and stressed. I think I will send her this card with a note saying that I hope that she adjusts quickly to the big city life.
