House Mouse 'Santa Hats '

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! :-)
