Another blue Christmas...

I seem to be using blue a lot this week - Laura will not be happy!

Talking of Laura she has ordered a House Mouse stamp for me that she wants me to make her Christmas cards with. I've no idea which stamp she has chosen, but a package arrived today that looks the right shape and squeeks when shaken so I can't wait to see what it is. She has said it's a tricky one to use so it's to be hope my mojo comes back!

My card for today has one of my all time favourite Pollycraft images on. It's the one I saw being used on friend's blogs last year and first led me to Pollycraft. Even though I have loads of Pollycraft images now I still love this one.

Additional materials:
  • DCWV snowflake paper
  • dark pearlescent card and plain blue paper
  • silver peel offs for sentiment, borders, corner and trims on clothes
  • gems and glitter from stash
  • Promarkers for colouring + Sakura stardust pen to get spikes on hair and clear stardust for detail on branch
Challenges:
Thank you for looking and taking the time to leave such great comments.

Sheesh done it again - clicked post before scheduling - oh just pretend it's Wednesday!!

Squeeks? Does she realize that the house mice are made of wood and rubber. I'd be careful how you open it! I have this WOJ image and I love it - and she looks good in blue. Fab. card Ann.
