Mouse with Christmas Flower

      It's the day for the letter "M" in the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place.  I've used one of her newest mice which I think is so adorable!  Although not made as a Christmas image, this darling Mouse is all dressed up in his winter scarf and by using Magenta Markers to color both the scarf and the flower, the image took on a Christmas-y color combo.  The image is colored with ProMarkers.  I also used tiny Metal brads, covered in glitter for a touch of sparkle.  (Secret - when you want to add glitter (or even  a particular color of embossing powder) to metal brads, hold the prongs with a pair of tweezers, heat the brad with a heat gun, and when it's hot, immediately dip it into the glitter EP !)

     The image and its frame are cut with QuicKutz dies.  The magenta ribbon was wrapped around the card front and also used to tie the double loop bow.  The sentiment was cut with an Avery Elle die and matted with magenta CS.


Challenges:

     I missed doing a post for yesterday's card (life got in the way as sometimes happens so I'll have a second post today.  In a way, that's better because the posts will be in 'alphabetical' order even though I made them in reverse order.  :-D  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
