Making a splash with sparkle

So, I've got to use a house mouse stamp in one of the challenges, I love housemouse - remind me of my little pet ratties when they were babies....wish I still had little pet ratties:(
It's also a purple and green challenge and I'm disappointed the muted olive of my background hasn't shown up too well. Added glitter to the two circles and edges of square image, used sukura glitter pens on rain drops....glitter never shows up well does it....for me at least.  Not sure if I need a better camera, or a photography course..oh well.
Do you like my ribbon rose. It's for the ribbon with a twist challenge, hadn't got purple ribbon so had to colour it with purple ink....after I'd made it.

Here's my receipe.

papers - various scrapbook

stamp- Housemouse

greeting - google search for weather quotes

colouring - crayola for umbrella, blendable pencils elsewhere

sparkles - glistening snow writer by Deco Art

Sukura tiara clear

 gems - stash
ribbon rose - handmade from ribbon stash

Hoping to enter in the following challanges :-

Hope you can see the bling ok here. I have AB 'gems' as little raindrops, one for the little grey mousie to drink and one on the umbrella......the mouse on his own just above...look.

You can see it better here and a little pearl inside the ribbon rose.

three little green faceted stones for the flower centres

Just one last close up of my image. Enough with the close ups do you think...yes me too.
