I've had this House Mouse stamp for years and seldom use it, so I pulled it out and decided to make a Christmas card to add to my stash. I colored the image with Copics, and added some die-cut greens to the top that look like the branches in their mouths. The die is from a Precious Marieke set called "leaves." I added a tiny twine bow along with some twine at the bottom to match the red mat beneath the image. The background was embossed with a SU! Petals A Plenty ef, and it was adhered to a Wild Wasabi card base.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
August Rudolph Days Challenge - Christmas anything goes
House Mouse HMFMC #298 - anything goes/optional: use dies
MLCCB #13 - August anything Christmas goes
Thanks for the visit, and I wish you a great week ahead!

This is such a lovely House Mouse card. That is a great image and you have coloured it beautifully. I have quite a few Precious Marieke dies, but have not seen this one. Will check to see if my store can bring it in, as it looks great here.
