Same Materials Dots Swap (kit from my partner)

This is another Same Materials Swap - one of my favorite swaps as I like to see what different people do with the same materials.

These are the materials my swap partner sent me (I started coloring before I remembered to take the picture!):

Here's the card I made:

I colored the focal & around the sentiment letters with Inktense pencils and a water brush. For most mats, I used a plain rectangular die to cut out the inside so that I could have enough of the yellow card stock to make other mats & cut out the sentiment.  The sentiment dies came from a Card Making Magic set called A2 Card and Box set.  For the mats I used 2 Spellbinders sets - A2 Matting Basics and Artist Trading Cards.  The layered ribbons & dots came in the kit.

Inside:

Here I just added a couple of leftover strips for a border - and matted the small mouse.
