-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.
-The pearls are attached with Diamond Glaze (any lacquer product will work). To make the process fast and easy I squeeze a drop of lacquer onto a waxed paper (I repurpose the paper that stickers and labels are purchased on), touch the end of a large corsage pin to the lacquer then to the back of the pearl which picks it up, position it on the card and press down with a finger, there is a little time to slide the gem into position if needed before it sticks tight.
-Art Glitter adhesive was used to apply glitter to the snowflakes and candy cane.

This moment....As I sit in my LR very early in the morning where I can see into my kitchen, and I hope against hope that we really did get rid of the mice in our kitchen, (if I see one run across the kitchen I might faint)...your card actually gave me a little rush to think about mice again....... yikes.....but if one DOES run across the kitchen who looks as cute as yours, and say maybe he has taken up residence in one of my teacups....well if he looks this cute, I just might keep him! ;) Your card is adorable!! (the mouse under my fridge, not so much!)
