Sweet Coffee Mouse Christmas

Hi, everybody!  Today I'm sharing a holiday card featuring a cute coffee mouse from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I coloured the image with markers and then fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  I adhered a torn scrap of white cardstock below him to simulate snow, and I adhered a tiny die-cut snowflake to his cup.


The embossing folder is Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow, and I used a Recollections snowflake punch.  The die-cut snowflake borders are from Your Next Stamp.  The stitched squares were leftovers from my quilt-inspired cards here and here.  The sentiment heart is a digital from LOTV, which I fussy-cut, and then added a Baker's twine bow.

My card design was inspired by Sketch Saturday 692:


I was also inspired by the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
