Ho Ho Ho House Mouse


The days are now just flying by until Christmas arrives, so I made a quick and easy Christmas card with a little House Mouse stamp I've had for years. I colored him with Copics, and added some liquid applique to his hat, then die-cut the panel with a MFT stitched circle die. A retired SU! silver doily perfectly fit behind the die-cut panel, and I cut a strip of retired SU! dsp into a banner and stamped a sentiment with a super-old set of wooden stamps I've had since I began stamping over a decade ago. It's all on a dark green card base for some traditional colors.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:



Cards4Guyz Challenge #208 - Christmas Critters

CHNC 414 - a/g Christmas - Optional use a sticker or 2

HMFMC #280 -a/g with option of something warm

Thanks for the visit and I wish you a wonderful day!

Carol

I love the traditional Christmas colors and the little mouse is beyond being darling!! He's so cute with his Santa hat on and I'd just like to squeeze him so tight. Very pretty patterned paper and a wonderful card Carol.

Gotta LOVE those darn cute House Mouse stamps!! Bought some new mini ones last time I was at L&L guess I need to get in gear if I want to use them this year. Love the use of the doily with it and of course the liquid applique.
