I had to bring Cocoa Mouse back out to make a Christmas card with him, as he's my favorite mouse in the world of stamps. This time he's in a nice cup of cocoa with a candy cane and a few marshmallows, so it doesn't get much sweeter than that! He's made by Sweet'n Sassy and I colored him with Copics, adding some Nuvo pink glitter drops along with some frosted stickles. I matted the image on a snippet of cocoa colored cardstock, then used some MFT fishtail banner dies to cut the banners from snippets of kraft and tan, adding a few decorative dots. The side panel was embossed with a SU! starburst ef, and I used some pretty ribbon that I cut into a banner and attached a rose-colored brad to the folded top just for fun. The sentiment is from the Cocoa Mouse stamp set, and it's all on a Rose Red card base.
I will enter this into the following challenges:
