It's time for a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'
and the theme for this month is 'Candles or Bells'. You can interpret it
however you want but the theme must be Christmas-sy and have a candle or bell somewhere on it. This
month,
we are sponsored by All Dressed Up who is generously giving away the prize of two digis to some lucky winner.
Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the gals on the team have created and here's a great chance to get a head start on your holiday cards for this year. The only requirement to enter the challenge is to follow the theme.
Now for some details about my card. I found this cute Candle Light Mice image at Di's Digi Downloads and I am sure I will be going back for more shopping. I'm not big on mice but she's got some really cute ones over there. I kept the card simple.. after colouring with Copics, I took a loopy cloth dipped in Copic Colorless Blender solution and dabbed it on the image to give a little texture. The lines and sentiment are computer generated in Word, the embossed sprinkles are Shabby White Frantage (you know I luv that stuff!) and finally little bits of Stickles.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is the sweetest mouse card I have EVER seen. Marilyn your coloring is perfection - you make me want to try with Copics again but out of frustration I gave all my Copics to Kelly! And do tell - how do you have such a light hand with the Frantage. I do love your style!
