Welcome
It was my turn to set the challenge this month in our swap group - and I chose as the challenge
A CAS card with a mini-moo.
I had never heard of it until a few days before, when I read about it on SCS .
Here is the definition of a mini moo:
A mini moo is a card that is 1.125" X 2.75" - half of a business card lengthwise.
This size is great for using up scraps

I started with a scrap of copy paper that I had used as a mask when spraying a background, and trimmed it to size. I then stamped it with a wee floral sprig - it is one of my oldest wood mounted stamps with no brand on it. I used Versa Clair Pine Cone brown ink, and painted it with mice based paints

The panel was edged with Aquatini ink and mounted over cardboard for some dimension.
I centred the words below it and stamped in Aquatini ink, before edging the card with it also.

The spray was stamped inside the card, also using the brown ink,

I also repeat stamped the image down the side of the envelope.

Lovely card, with great combination of textures and finishes. I've been using MiniMoos (moo.com) as business cards for ages due to their unique size. Now I know what to do with out of date ones :)
