Anything Goes/CHRISTMAS is the theme at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. Get a peek at the designers inspiration and join in here: housemouse-challenge
The image is coloured and fussy cut with Stickles added to the hats and a paper pieced cosy blanket. I just happened to have EP for the stamped sentiment the same colour as the sparkle card for the background! Amazing! I didn't want an obvious Christmas sentiment, so added a more general one. There was so much going on in the image I just punched two corners, more and I think it would've looked messy. Gotta know when to stop eh?

I wanted a CAS style using understated colouring. Firstly I stamped the deer and coloured it. Made a mask using a post-it note, cut it out and used it to mask the deer while stamping the trees and snowflakes with speckled Egg DI's and splattering with white paint (which hardly shows). Coloured the deer with Copics. White pen highlights and Opal Dust for sparkle.

I made this one using a piece of wrapping paper (background), magazine page(red triangle), and a sliver of gold. I cannot get enough of this gorgeous thick matt wrapping paper (free in a magazine), I love the images and colours and thought little Pengi would like to be in the action. Penguins are such joyful little creatures.
Pengi is stamped, coloured with Copics and fussy cut. Joy stamp is a mag freebie from way back, Pengi is unbranded. Also white pen highlights and Stickles.Shared on challenges:

Enmbossed Stamp is unknown, sentiment (I think) is a magazine freebie. I used a kids watercolour set to paint the poppies, touched up with Copics. The splatter is also from the kids watercolour set. And a matching envelope teaser.

The EF is Heidi Swapp. The dies (wreath & sentiments) are unbranded; the card they are cut from are smooshed and dabbed with Distress Inks, misted with Glimmermists (see the sparkle) and inked again. The sentiments are stacked, and the berries are punched with both sides of a Crop-o-dile from snippets of coloured waste card.

This one makes me feel like dancing. A nice reminder for the year ahead for someone having a birthday.
The hamster is stamped onto patterned paper and paperpieced. Whiskers added with black pen. The EP is Tim Holtz distressed which has a bit of sparkle, perfect for the sentiment. I used the same ink set that I used for the inside sentiment and made a rainbow border along the bottom of the inner.
