Christmas Card Club. Challenge 7: Critter or Critters

Hello again,  well  another 2 weeks have passed since our last CCC,  and now we are at challenge 7 and our dear Maureen has chosen Critter or Critters.   Years ago now I fell in love with all things House Mouse and so it was only right that my card for this challenge was to be a Christmas house mouse card.   I used a 6 X 6 recycled card for my base and added some matching paper.   The dies were cut from recycled card and a jolly red card to give it some colour.   My stamp was from House Mouse designs and I coloured it using promarkers.    I used treasured gold to highlight the candlestick,  but sadly it doesn't show up very well.   I added a double gingham bow to the finished card.     Aren't the months just passing so fast, but at least my Christmas card box is filling quickly.   Speak to you all soon.      Hugs Rita xxxx

Never seen a House Mouse yet that I didn't like! And love this one, and that you were able to do some recycling to make a nifty card. I like the combination of dies you used to create a lot of visual interest and that bright red mat is just perfect. Ditto the check bow. It's just a delightfully fun card. TFS & Hugs
