The
House Mouse Challenge for the week is to create a Christmas card using a House Mouse image. Having a House Mouse image is the easy part. What comes next is illustrative of my indecisiveness when it comes to the creative process. With the poinsettia on the side,
or without it? With or without? My son says "without." What say you all? I think my final answer is "without" because it gives a more natural feel to the wintry scene I was trying to create. Here is the process: Memories Midnight Blue Ink for a "midnight" sponged background skyline, PSX trees and Stampin up stars finish the scene. PSX "Believe" stamped on a sizzix die cut tag. The blue frame (Sizzix) for the House Mouse "Warm Tree Light" is stamped with one side of a Stampendous texture cube and then heat embossed in gold. If you like the addition of the poinsettia, it is cr
eated with a sizzix die and scored for dimension. And, the best part of the making of this card is that I just inherited my son's Prismacolors and I used them for the first time on these little mousies. Crystal lacquer accents the Christmas Bulb. I can't wait to decorate my tree!

You son sounds like a good sport! Dh does not say a lot to me when I ask his opinion. He usually just points and says "this one" {is better}! Kinda like Tim the Tool Man with the grunts...

Your card is Mousie Magnificent!!! I love the wintery background, and your coloring is wonderful!!! As for the flower, I like it either way...sorry, I volley back and forth with these things too. At least I am not indecisive about this...I LOVE YOUR CARD!!!:O)

Mom -- I still say "without" -- great card! What's for dinner?
I hope I'm getting one of these for Christmas. Sometime you will have to explain sponging.
Very nicely done. I think I like it better without but I'm not much of flower person when it comes to card making.

Love your cards! They are gorgeous!
At first I thought 'without', but then I noticed the flower was the same colour as the light bulb, so I said 'with', then I noticed the gorgeous scene, so 'without'again, then I... Oh, I'm just not helping you at all here! Well, with or without, I think they both look great!!!
