This weeks CAS challenge is the phrase "Just Chillin.'" Originally I was going to go with a snowy creature theme, but Miss Boo's card set me in a completely different direction...
Stamped the image from Penny Black Jolly Friends in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Cream CS. Colored the mouse and holly with Copics and paper pieced the stocking. Applied liquid applique to the furry parts of the stocking and heat set. Used a scrap of kraft (MFP Old Barnwood Grey) to fashion a mantle with sponging, scoring and layering, using Copic E13 to shadow the score lines. Ran a piece of BG through a lightly inked TH EF and faux-letterpressed. Mounted all to a Flourishes cream card, popping the bottom of the stocking on a dimensional. I think that this is my very favorite card for the entire year...I hope that means that I've gotten better at this over the last 12 months! PT - resting.
Thanks for the inspiration, Jen. Thank you all so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

MMM, this is just the sweetest thing. I love how you did the brick and mantle and those are the sweetest critters in the stocking.
