House Mouse Christmas Cards

I took a class with Doyle in November but had to leave in the middle of it. I had all the cards already prestamped and precut so I decided to finish them when Maria, Teri, and I went to Rhonda's on January 2, 2014. It was our last hurrah before going back to work! They are so, so cute and I "changed them up" to my liking. I did learn one new thing: that embossing powder that you heat from underneath so it looks like snow and gold flecks. I love that stuff!!! I will probably find a way to put it on everything! I believe I will take the JOY one and make a few more changes so that it becomes next year's card. All are colored with copics. Here they are:

First one is an easel. I used stickles on the light bulb. It's also my first use of the embossing "glittery snow":

Second card. I am stamping "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" on the bottom right. It would fit just right!

Third card. How funny is that stamp!!! You can see I am starting to go overboard on the embossing powder LOL.

Fourth card. The mice took a sprig of pine and made a tree. Poor little things ~ it looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree!!! Again, the further along I go the more embossing powder I use. HA! These mice are in a snowstorm...

Last, the JOY card. I colored only the candy canes then used glass accents. In person, they look so real. I don't like the shade of green or competing red/white dotted paper. However, I love the b/w stamp with just the candy canes colored in. I want to turn a version of this into our 2014 Christmas card.
