Getting Ready for Christmas

Here's my card for this week's House-Mouse & Friends HMFMC#132 which is "getting ready for Christmas." I used an older HM stamp I've had for ages called Santa's Little Helper. The embossed panel was done with a Crafts-too ef. The "joy" sentiment is from a retired SU! set. It has an embossed frame and I thought this little mouse would look perfect in the center. I matted with real red card stock and colored the image with Copics. I added some icicle stickles to the hat fur, and to the dots on the embossed panel but they don't show up in the photo. Perhaps if you click to enlarge it, that detail will show a little better.
I guess we'll all be getting ready for Christmas soon as those holidays are rolling around so quickly!

Wishing you a merry Monday and thanks for stopping by!
