This challenge had me stumped, so I had to pull out my huge box of IRAK images to find something that would spark my mojo. I found this wonderful Christmas cookie image... you all know how I love my c-c-dookies!
This image was stamped years ago and I do not have a clue who sent it to me. I had to be very careful coloring it with my copics as it was not stamped with "copic ink", so I didn't do much blending so that I did not smear the image. I managed to be verrrrrrrrrrrrry careful and it all worked out fine. The meeces are sitting in glittery snow, but that does not show in the pic.
I added jewels to the cookie toppings and tied on a little tree charm for good measure. Our House Mouse Mommy-America- sent all the team fun bits and bobs to add to our creations! Thanks Mommy!
Yep, that would be me eatin' those cookies for sure!
I am happy to start my Christmas card stash too. I am always too busy in the winter to whip up holiday cards, so I really need to start now!
