Santa Claus is Coming to Town


I think one of the activities we all may find trying - is the wrapping of the presents, somehow here it is always left to the last minute... maybe it's time for a change and for me to have them wrapped and under the tree a week before Christmas...just like these mice.  The House Mouse and Friend challenge this fortnight is 'Preparing for Christmas'
I simply stamped and coloured my image in Distress Inks and decided to make all the ribbons silver.. with two different gel pens. Then I sponged in the background with DI.  I used Distress Oxides in three greens to create a variegated panel from which to die cut my pine foliage.  I arranged these to create an 'under the tree' feel and cut a white border to frame the image.  Lastly I stamped my sentiment and roughly cut it out and used foam tape to attach it with a last sprig of pine.  Thanks for taking a peek.

    Robyn, this is adorable, love the use of distressed inks for colouring too, something I must try myself as it looks fabulous. A fabulous project and gorgeous colours used. Thank you so much for entering my theme in our current challenge and good luck in the draw. Hope to see you again next challenge with your cute work…. {aNNie}Designer for House Mouse and Friends
