It's time for a new House Mouse and Friends Challenge. This time the fabulous and super talented Sue D is the hostess and the theme is
Anything Goes
+ the option of
SHOW US SOME SNOW
I used a lovely new Santa Hats Cling Stamp and made a shaker card.
I coloured the little mouse and robins with copic markers and then masked the image before using a Falling Snow Stencil, Embossing Paste and Prisma Glitter for the snowstorm ;-)
For the ombre background I used Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks, splattered with water and then used a Stampendous Stencil for the snowy design.
and here is where I have a confession to make. I had made this card below first and wasn't very happy with how I coloured up the robins especially, so I bought an online class from Kit and Clowder to learn how to colour a robin better ;-) I learned a lot of new tecnhiques and really love how the texture of the feathers on the robins above look when compared with the ones below. What do you think?
I finished the insides of both cards, makes it so much easier come Christmas when it comes to writing on them and posting them out ;-)
Thanks for looking! You have until Saturday 10th Nov to join in! :-)

I think I need a class, too. What a difference. Your second card is really lovely. The coloring technique really made a difference. I love your card. It's so sweet with the beautiful colors and the embossing paste. Of course, you know I love the inside! [Bunny]
