My sister Sandra loves mice. I had this idea, but did not execute my idea as well as I thought it would be. It was still fun to work with this little mouse. He is originally holding a chewed up heart, but I very carefully cut him out and put the star in his hand for the tree. There is a lot of glitter on this card which does not show up on a scan.This card is 5 x 7. To paint the sky, I wet water color paper first, then brushed with a wet brush bashful blue ink.

I love your card. It is so cute, and the mouse looks so anxious to get the star on that tree.
What a great job you did on it. Your sister will love it!
Great job. Merry Christmas

First let me say I don't know how anyone can like mice, but he is very cute! Love his little footprints in the snow, very clever touch. I'll have to keep that idea for the sky in mind for a card I'm working on, thanks for the tip.
I don't see how it could execute much better, very cute. Wish I could see the glitter!
