I have a lot of stamps I rarely use - no surprise there then.... and I bet I am not alone.😛 I buy because I like them, maybe use them once (or even not at all) and then store them away.
I always think LOTV stamps need lots of embellies but I have tried to do one with hardly any on it at all - as I am intending on sending this through the post.
Originally I had a plain base but it really did look stark so this tiny flower embossing folder which was free in a magazine last year (or the year before?) was also taken out of it's wrapping!
Our flower shop mice were coloured with Promarkers, then matted onto green card after using a X stitch die to cut it out.
The little tags were snippets left over from the green card and the sentiment is from SU.

This card is really sweet Viv, love the embossed background and the stitching round the image. Perfect!
Hi Viv, I absolutely love this card! Everything about it is so pretty. Barbxx
You should indeed use this stamp more often, Viv, it's lovely! The embossing folder complements it perfectly, and I'd say the little tags are all the embellishments it needs. Gorgeous card!
What a really pretty card Viv..those mice sure are busy! great colouring...love pink and green.Have a good week!
Lovely card Viv, I really like the stitched die and the embossed panel too, I don't use LOV stamps much as like you I think they need lots of embellies but this image looks great in you CAS style

A beautiful card Viv. I like the design, the embossed background looks great and the LOTV micee are so cute. hugs, Marlies
This is perfect, I think that we feel LOTV images need lots of embellishments because the original DT used a lot of embellishments.
I have got these pre-printed images and to be quite honest I wish I have bought the stamps as your card looks so brilliant with your colour choices and the white on white really shows the image, rather than being distracted by the embellishments.
Right after that, another sip of alcohol is needed.
Have a good week.

This is a really cute card. I love it!
Simply adorable! Love the little mice, and your perfect colors!
Aww . . . this is SOOOO sweet Viv. I like your embossing behind the cross-stitched border die cut LOTV image.
FAB.

What a gorgeously cute LOTV image Viv and it is quite a busy image and I think your choice of just a few colours suits it perfectly and a great cross stitched edge. I also love the pretty EF and the little tags and twine as finishing touches. x
You've succeeded in making an adorable, simple card with this lotv image. I do like the string and tag detail but think this card would look great even without. So there, you've proved it, lotv images can be used for CAS designs as well:)
Totally gorgeous, Viv! I love the colours you used and such a cute stamp too! Simply wonderful!
Hi Viv
Fabulous creation, adorable image and design.
Happy crafting
