Hi, Friends......
I am back with another Christmas in July card made from items in my holiday stash that have been neglected. I am entering this in Maureen's July Rudolph Days Challenge that is open through the end of the month. Hope you will join us over there!!
This sweet little mouse image, given to me by a friend, is one that I hadn't inked up before. Cute, isn't it? I had the scraps of papers matched up and bagged together in my box so I colored the little critter and his present to match. It's a bit of a non-traditional twist on the standard red and green, but not too far off.
Supplies used include:
M&C Boutique - Large Circle Frame die set (retired)
Whimsy Stamps Bonus Gift with Purchase (discontinued)
Studio G Stamps - Mini Christmas Clear Stamps
Versafine ink in Crimson Red
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
Scraps of Patterned Paper from my stash
Hope you enjoyed this fun card. I think it will work well for giving to one of the younger set.
Stay cool and craft on..........only a few more days left of Christmas in July!!
❤
Janis

Adorable card, Janis! Love the circles in your design! Thanks so much for playing along with the Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party!
ReplyDeleteJanis, thank you for sharing another one of your Christmas cards with us at Double Trouble! That little mouse is so darn cute with his Santa hat cocked to one side!! You did a lovely job coloring the image... I like how you stamped with red Versafine to get the nice detail of the image. -Donna
