Welcome, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and We Love Stamping challenges, you might see we have had a name change, we are all about the stamping and great prizes.
If you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.
At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Christmas' and I just had to use some mice, I love these Pink Ink Designs mice, they are so joyful. So I stamped my image first and coloured it with Aqua pencils. The background is made using Distress inks, I covered the mice and using white acrylic paint I flicked some snow. For the snow across the bottom I used Distress Grit paste and whilst wet sprinkled some Glamour Dust on to it for some real sparkle, which you obviously can't see.
Our Prizes and Sponsor this month:-
And there will be a second prize of a surprise goody bag which will contain a stamp, stencil or other crafting items.
And now onto my second challenge creation for We Love Stamping, where the theme is 'Christmas' So after thinking for a bout 10 seconds what I should use for this challenge these little critters jumped out at me. I adore this Gingerbread House, it's one of my Favourite House Mouse Christmas stamps. I thought I would use it in a different way this time and stamped direct on to Kraft card. I coloured it with Aqua Pencils and used a white charcoal pencil around the outside.
Our prize:-

Another fan of Pink Ink here, not seen this happy little mouse choir it is adorable. By the way the glitter on your grit paste does show up really well. The House Mouse stamp you used is also adorable and beautifully coloured, I tend not to think of kraft card but it really is effective. great makes and well done xoxo
