Bringing in the Harvest

One of my favourite stamps love the little mice such cheeky chappies.
Image stamped in memento black ink coloured with promarkers, for the mice sandstone,pastel pink and ivory.
The berries Amethyst, poppy and black. leaves olive green and moss.the background is a page out of a book covered in autumn leaves. then I used some Papermania recycled brown card cut out using an the large x-cut  die ,then with die still in place distressed with gathered twigs, then cut out with next size die and distressed the edges with scattered straw. My leaves are made with an x-cut maple leaf punch  I distressed card with scattered straw then used a soft brush and added fire brick red for a lovely autumn colour before punching out leaves.The green leaves are Marianne dies. finished off with a sentiment and a ladybug.
 I am going to enter this into  # Challenge 5 on Emma's Crafty Challenge
