Happy Holidays


Today is the last day of the week long Chameleon Hop with Stampendous.

I have another House Mouse Card to share with you today because....well...because I love the little critters!


There was a small learning curve with these markers but I really like that I was able to get such a great range of color and shading with very few markers.
This was especially helpful when I flew because I just took my box of 20 markers and was able to do all of my coloring.  The TSA didn't even question me about the pens so if you were wondering...they are great for taking on the plane when you travel



Instructions:





  • Stencil the I Beam stencil with gold embossing paste and set aside to dry.
  • When dry adhere stenciled panel to a square green card.
  • Adhere green strip of cardstock and two die cut holly pieces.
  • Stamp image on a white die cut circle and color with markers.
  • Adhere panel to the card.
  • Stamp sentiment on a white die cut circle.
  • Back with a red scallop edge die cut panel and then adhere to card.
  • Adhere red rhinestones to card.

    The leaf embellishments are a great idea.
