Happy Wednesday! For those in the US, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. Back with today’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge and we have a great one from designer Cécile.
As I was looking through my stamps fro this, I knew I wanted snowflakes for the three little elements but wasn’t sure what else. And then…yep, the mice. Merry Little Mice from Honey Bee Stamps to be exact. I love this fun fellow and I thought he was just the right size for the sketch. I stamped him in Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers.
I leaned on the Vintage Holiday Paper Pack again for the background and then thought it might be fun to use another print for the circle. This houndstooth was perfect. I did make the card a 5″x5″ so that I could keepa bit more of the background detail. I pulled the snowflakes from the Riding By…Holiday Style stamp set and the sentiment is from Inside: Holiday Sentiments (all from Honey Bee Stamps). Hard to see in the photo but I added a little Wink of Stella Clear on the white parts of the image for some sparkle.
Thanks for stopping in today. I will be back later in the week with some holiday cards. See you then!

How cute is this? It’s super cute, that’s what!
This little mouse is adorable and he looks fabulous against the patterned paper you’ve used! Such a gorgeous card!
What a charming little mouse! I love your use of the houndstooth and woodgrain behind him!
