Today, whilst my husband is away, I have been putting the finishing touches to his Christmas card. I wanted it to be extra special as we've had a very very hard six months since the death of my mum. When I saw this House Mouse decoupage image of two mice by the fireside I thought this was the perfect image as my husband has been by my side during this difficult time. I have used a backing paper from the Joanna Sheen House Mouse insert CD of little hats - it wasn't intended for this decoupage sheet but I liked the little hats. I have used the matching insert and cut it down to fit inside my 8x8 card. I used my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge for the straight edged hearts, scalloped hearts and the stockings. I have added peel-offs to the stockings of our initials and some hearts. The card is then finished off with a sentiment off the backing sheet, some ribbon and lots of love.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
