Three Jolly Mice and a Christmas Tree

Hello and welcome!

It's the first Sunday of the month and that means there is a new challenge starting today at Stamping Sensations! Our theme for the month is "Anything Christmas". Looking forward to seeing your wonderful Christmas creations on the challenge blog! We have a prize from Be Creative to give away and hopefully you'll get a chance to play along with us!

And this is what I made:

This stamp is another one from the set Gather Around  by Penny Black.  (You can see my cat card made from the same set here). It's back in stock at Scrapbook.com and also available from an Amazon seller. 

I stamped on Bristol Vellum paper using Versafine Onyx ink then colored with Distress inks and Zig Clean Color markers. 

I used Penny Black's Christmas Story background stamp on the background and bottom border for some added interest and distressed the edges. 

The postage stamp sentiment is an oldie from Whimsy Stamps and I used the matching postage die to cut it out (these are both retired and no longer available.)

The patterned paper is from my stash. Thought it matched the brown mice well enough so that's why I chose it. I tied some natural jute twine around the card front before adhering to the base. The little die cut star (or is it a snowflake??) was left over on my desk from another project, thought it was the perfect finishing touch so I added it. Stickles glitter was applied to the ornaments, star and bow on the tree stand.
