Another Merry Mouse Christmas - Just Add Ink #325

It's been much cooler today and it's been wonderful!!!  We had a bit more rain last night and the lawns are starting to turn green again.  One of the planters that really suffered from the heat is now returning to life (after cruel me cut the poor think almost down to the roots) and is starting to bloom.
It 's hard to think about Christmas when the weather is so nice, but think about it I must.  To date I am booked for 5 craft shows between the end of Sept. and early Dec.

The Merry Mice stamp set is such a cute set and I'm getting a real kick out of using it to make cards.  This time I used it for the sketch challenge with Just Add Ink

 

After stamping these images with Black Memento ink, they are so much fun to colour with a blender pen. And some Wink of Stella provides some glam to the image.

Using the layering circles framelits, the image was die cut and a larger scallop circle was die cut in Cherry Cobbler.  The two circles were adhered together using dimensionals, and than adhered to the card front.

The card base is Garden Green, layered with This Christmas DSP - two patterns - with a double scalloped strip of Dazzling diamonds glimmer paper covering the seam.

The sentiment is also matted with Cherry Cobbler and then Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper.

Stamp: Merry Mice
Inks:Black Memento, Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette, Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake
Papers: Garden Green, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, This Christmas DSP, Dazzling diamond glimmer paper
