Anyone that knows me knows I am a total Christmas nut, so I love this challenge!  

I am using one of the brand new meecie stamps just released! It is the cling stamp ORNAMENT CANDY.  It is colored with copics and the snow added with a white Signo pen. My "snow" pen wasn't cooperating very well so let's pretend it's just the beginning of the snow storm!  Background paper is Doodlebug  Santa Express. 

It seems the meece are always snitching treats doesn't it?  I bet Monica thought she was safe from Mudpie! So much for hoarding! LOL

 A bit of a tip about the tree branches. They can be a bit intimidating to color-at least for me...For these branches I just colored the stems brown  and then colored over the pine needles with a light green like G 24 or G43. Add a little flicking with a darker green-I used G46.  The darker green will look a bit harsh so I color over the whole thing again with the lighter green to tone it all down. I did color a few spaces with Y21 just to add a bit of glow. You can see that around the edges a bit. There you go-no need to overthink it!

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

I hope you have a few spare minutes to join in our house mouse fun!
