Musical Mice

 Hi crafty friends, I’ve managed a couple more Christmas cards,

inspired by some blog challenges.

I tried my brayer on the embossing folder, not totally successful…bit patchy.

I cut a mask so I could tier the single tree to make a taller one.

I altered the die cut shape, by moving it and cutting off the top.

Added some ribbon to reflect the sketch challenges, and some adhesive gems. Coloured with Blender pens

The next one I used a blending brush to add some ink to the embossing.

I fussy cut 3 trees to make one taller one…..(which do you prefer?)

Here’s what I used

Added some “grounding” ink

Below you can see the single small tree…..too small imho.

I used lots of white snippets for the mice, trees and greeting, and a blue snippet for the first mat.

Caroling Mice

 Hi there

Today’s card is using Caroling Mice.

This is a cute group of carol singers, which I coloured using watercolour pencils.

I went around the edge of them all with pale blue, and a bit of “glow” with yellow.

I wanted a few music notes, but wanted them to be subtle, so used blue ink.

I hope you can hear them singing!

The funeral for our late Queen Elizabeth was incredibly moving,

filling our hearts with sadness, love, hope, and pride.

The singing of the choir and congregation almost lifted the roof.

I know my little choir can’t do that, but hope they make you smile :)
