House Mouse goes Swedish

I was actually thinking of a suitable birthday card for a friend when I stumbled upon the Creative Card Crew's Show us the colours of your country while looking at the House Mice and their cheese parcels (which is such a cute image) .. this is what came out.
It also gave me a chance to try out my promarkers on the House Mice, which worked surprisingly well. The mice themselves - i.e. the image - is embossed using black Versafine and clear powder (Versafine works very well for embossing, you just have to hurry a little..)
The flags are old OLD stash (probably 1950s, Christmas decorations from an old store), as is the lace. Paper shaped with the nice free patterns over at Lili of the Valley's.
Let's see if I can put this over at the House Mouse challenge blog as well as with Simon Says
