I belong to a group on .Ning that posted a challenge to use a House Mouse image on a commercial Christmas card. We could use any HM image and embellishments of our choice. Here is the card I made. I used a card I received this year (thanks, cousin Art) and an image called "Silent Night."
After coloring my image with Copics, I cut out two of the four mice on the stamp, singing in front of one of the snowmen. I placed them where I think the snowman on my commercial card is looking. These merry mice are singing sweet carols to their snowy friend, and he seems very happy with their songs.
I kept the embellishments simple--some jewels and a holly leaf on the snowman's hat, a few jeweled notes to carry their tune, and a sentiment sticker.
Hmm, I wonder if I can get away with sending it back to cousin Art next year with my artistic changes. Do you think they'll remember that they sent it to me this year??? Maybe I better send it out to somebody else.
Do you re-gift your cards and/or presents? I do. I cherish the people who send me cards, but some of them are too cute to just throw away at the end of the season. I like to re-fashion these cards for others, like the one I did today. This one might just go out in the mail today!!
