House Mouse and Friends - Special cuts

Hiya everyone, 

 I am a little late with this card (only about 10 minutes but still) as I've only just made it this morning.  I have had an awful week after taking one of my cats to the vet for blood tests on friday and on saturday morning my beloved Nan was rushed to hospital with a suspected stroke.  We visited her yesterday and she doesn't seem too bad as she can still move everything and talk but she is almost 88 so anything like this is such a huge worry.  As it was the weekend, there was no specialist on so we haven't really been told very much.  Hopefully we'll find out more today.  We also have an appointment at the vets to discuss my little Toba's liver problem so I've had that to worry about too all weekend!  

 Anyhoo, back to my card which is my DT card for the House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge which has just started today.  The theme today is "anything goes with special cuts" which can be shaped cut card, die cuts or something else!

 I very quickly opted for a shaped card as I didn't have a lot of time and decided to use this gorgeous fish stamp that I've had ages and never used.  I thought I could give it to the father in law as he keeps Koi so I thought he'd like it!  The images has been coloured with a combo of promarkers and flexmarkers and the papers are from the "Isabelle" first edition paperstack.
We have some fab prizes up for grabs from our amazing sponsors so be sure to check it out!

 Thanks for looking!

    Sending my prayers to Nan and Toba and hope they'll get better real quick. Your card is still pretty amazing for a 10 minute creation. This will take me hours to get done.
