I made this card, planning to send to one of my HM group friend, Karen A. but had the theme in mind, to submit to House Mouse & Friends Monday blog; "oh Charming Christmas Tree" challenge. I colored the star on the tree, using Smooch SPRITZ; Gold. I colored the tree in watercolor pencis first but also wanted to add some sparkling, so i used Smooch SPRITZ; Green. I colored the mouse in water color pencils. I sponged the baby blue color around the mouse. Then I stamped a tiny snowflakes in Brilliance Starlight silver. Brilliance ink has been one of my most FAV. & most USED inks cuz of its color & it does dry even they are pigment ink, rather fast, not to mention, Archival :-) I put glitter around the circle of the 2 images. I embossed the background paper, using snowflakes cuttlebug folder, and glittered here & there, all over the background paper.

Hi there Eve,
I was going to submit my card but I guess I am too late, it says that the linky is now closed. :( I should still have four hours... One of the new stamps I had bought was of the happy hoppers putting carrots on a Christmas tree. That is the only Christmas tree stamp that I own. Anyway, I also love the stamp you used, that is another one of my Christmas favorites. I love the snowflakes that you stamped with the brillance ink, it looks great! And I love the snowflake emboss that you did on the background paper. The ribbon and charm are really cute also. Good luck in the challenge. Talk to you soon.
