I wanted to follow a sketch and found this great one over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp, so I'm also entering my card into that challenge.
I used:
- 6" x 6" white scalloped edge card blank
- House Mouse 'Mistletoe Moment' stamped using SU's 'Smoky Slate' and coloured with Polychromos Pencils and Sansodor blending solution. The colours are much stronger IRL - dratted camera again! I added a couple of little self adhesive pearls to the mistletoe
- all papers are from LOTV's 'Woodland Wishes' Christmas paper pad
- the sentiment is an Elzybells one (no longer trading sadly), stamped using SU's 'Rich Razzleberry' then die cut using a Spellbinders banner die. I just did the green backing layer by using the die as a guide and drawing round the outside before hand cutting it
- white Josy Rose nail heads
I'd also like to enter this into Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra, where it's always 'anything goes'.
And, the current challenge over at House-Mouse and Friends is to use amethyst, white plus one other colour - green in my case. I know that some beige has crept into the main backing paper (but the meeces are browns too aren't they) so hopefully the amethyst and green are strong enough. If not then do please tell me, ladies over at HM, and feel free to delete my entry - leaving me squeaking with embarrassment :)
Reminds me - did I ever tell you the tale of Fudge the field mouse? He lived with us one Winter, no kidding!

Ah, this is definitely Love personified. So cute & sweet. Love these little meeces..(a little less than Hedge, but still a lot!). Your colors looked spectacular to me ..let Meeces be center stage, but very soft & complementary. Liked the layout too. Great card. More on Fudge. Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteAwww - such a sweet HM image Di and perfect sentiment!
ReplyDeleteLove that sketch layout too.
Good luck in your challenges.

Di, we would never delete this entry. I know you hadn't used this stamp in a while, but you certainly made great use of it this week. I adore this card. Any colors would be fine as long at there was something other than purple and white. Your papers are gorgeous and I love the pearls on your image as well as the brads in the corner. Terrific sentiment for this one. So happy you played along with us this week at House Mouse & Friends. Hope to see you again real soon. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Di love the sketch you used and of course the image sooo cute x
ReplyDeleteHi Di, this is so so sweet. Huge Aww factor.

ReplyDeleteHugs to you Sue Pxxx
PS love the fact you had Fudge for a winter - sounds like me 'n' Colin the caterpillar.

We have Sidney, the desert pack rat who lives in our yard. What with four cats, I don't think he'd fare well inside. I do hope you treated Fudge well after he moved in.
ReplyDeleteAs for the HM challenge I think they determined that mouse color was allowed because we all made our meece brown or gray and no one slapped our hands with a ruler and told us know.
It is a very sweet Christmas stamp. I should join this challenge since I am behind Christmas cards for this month. But alas, I'm at work and have too many other things to do when I get home. I might be able to squeeze it in.... but no breath holdinG!!!!
The papers and the colours are fabulous, super cute image and great colouring. Really lovely card.
