It's Christmas in July over at Di's Digi Designs

Hello

It is time for a new challenge over at Di's Digi Designs and this fortnight the theme is:

Christmas in July

I've used the super cute Holly Mice which is available from Di's Digi Stamps 

I coloured the image with my favourite colouring medium, Copic pens and paper pierced the jumpers on the little mice.  To give the illusion of fir I put a few drops of blending solution onto a small piece of towel and light pressed this over the mice.  Along the edges of the matts I've add glitter to give a little sparkle, other than that I've kept the layout fairly CAS.

Image : Holly Mice (Di's Digi Stamps)

Paper : Classic Christmas (LOTV) - Discontinued

Sentiment : Card-io Sentiment

Embellishments : Pearls (Meri Flower) and Viva Pearl Pen

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Christmas at Sweet Stampin : Warm Winter Clothing (Jumpers)

ABC Christmas Challenge : M for Mice

Crafty Sentiments : Anything Goes

As You Like It Challenge : Favourite Marker, Ink or Pencils - I'm trying different mediums - eg. Inktense Pencils and Re-inkers, but I do love my Copics.  I love the shading effects you can achieve with them and the more I practice the better I'm getting, but I do still have a long way to go.

Christmas Cards All Year Round : Anything Goes
