Mr. Mouse with Coffee

Hello, everyone!  I'm right on time for ScrappyMo's Rudolph Day, which is celebrated on the 25th of each month to inspire us to make our Christmas cards ahead of time so we can avoid the rush in November/December.

My card features the sweet Mr. Mouse with Coffee by Gerda Steiner Designs.  I've had this digital image for a few years and he's a favourite!  While I can no longer find him in the shop, Gerda has other adorable coffee critters, and Tea-riffic Mouse would be a great substitute!  Gerda has a fun Egg Hunt going on, and she has provided the cute Easter Egg watermark you see on my card, so my inner child could not resist playing along!  Check here for all the details and join me!

I coloured Mr. Mouse with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  My card design was inspired by Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch 225:

I die-cut the deer scene (magazine freebie) and layered it onto scraps of glitter cardstock in two shades of green.  The bow die is from Quality Toys, and the white background is embossed with Taylored Expressions Winter Flurry. I added three green snowflake sequins and some green gems according to the sketch.

I was also inspired by the following 7 challenges, for a total of 10:
ABC Christmas E for Embossing and G for Glitter UE


DL.ART March Linky AG UE
Double D Something with a Handle (coffee cup) 1/3
Gerda Steiner Share Your Designs March AG UE 
Snippets Playground 424 Snippets are the glitter scraps in two shades of green, the white deer scene die-cut, and the embossed snowflake panel 1E C10
Word Art Wednesday 535-536 AG w Uplifting Sentiment wk2 2/5

Thank you for looking at my card!   Wishing you a joyful and carefree day!

Great take on the sketch. I love that little mouse with his coffee cup. I have a different Gerda Steiner mouse with cup. He looks like an Easter Egg. Maybe I'll get him out for the Egg Hunt. You have such great glitter card stock. Terrific card!

Hi dear Kitty!! The bear with mug was adorable, but also this cute mouse! :) Love the colours you choose for your card, and all the sparkling!! Great take of the sketch too with that sweet stripe with sequins and bow!Love the deer scene!
Hope that in Canada things are going better than in Italy! We aren't carefree, our government don't represent us, but we can't do nothing! We all are worried for the future. We hope for peace, love and God's help.
Sending you big hugs and blessings on your way dear friend!
