This is my second post of the day and it looks like I'm on a Christmas tour through all my stamps and images (inspired somewhat by my playing at Beccy's Place all this month - see previous post.) I found this sweet little Christmas Mouse from Rick St. Dennis. OK, so maybe he isn't specifically a Christmas mouse, but he turned into one for this card. I thought he looked like something out of the Victorian era "Night Before Christmas" by Clement Moore, so I had to dress him in Christmas red. :-D
I started by coloring the image with my ProMarkers, then trimmed it to the size I needed for the red frame which had been cut with an Unbranded die. I printed the sentiment, fussy cut it and layered it on top of the image piece. For the borders, I did a modified version of what's in the sketch, using only one line of pearls down each side. I added two of my hand sewn bows which also have pearls on them.

I started with the sketch from The Outlawz this week
although I turned it on end.

What a cute card, this is adorable and that image is so much fun! Thank you once again for sharing your work and for playing along with us over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog...
He's a perfect little Christmas mouse! I love his tiny teeth and that stripe nightie he has on too. Wonderful card and the pearls look great down each side.

Goodness gracious, Connie! THIS IS DARLING! I love the colored details right down to the highlights in his little eyes, and those adorable little teeth. Do Promarkers blend with copics? Can the two be combined and shaded? I love your take on the sketch as well. I don't know how you do everything you do AND play in challenges, AND make lots of amazing cards... You are Woman! Thanks for the smile this morning. love, de
