Take a look at these adorable skating mice! I coloured them with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop them up on foam tape. I also added Star Dust Stickles to the fur trim on their jackets and skates.
.
I recently won a prize from Polka Dot Orchard, and this Merry ChristMouse digital stamp set is one of the items I chose. Thank you, Jessica! The mice are so cute; I just couldn't resist!
My card began with a Distress Oxide background (Tumbled Glass) using the ink-smooshing technique. The die I used had two deer at the bottom so I trimmed them off to leave an open space as a skating pond for the mice. I filled in the area with Glossy Accents to simulate ice. You can see it better in the photo below. The sentiment is from the same digital set and I printed it in white letters on black. I finished off the card by adhering a few red snowflake sequins.
I was inspired by the following 10 challenges:

Carlin's Kaartenparadijs Anything Goes 1/3
