Thanks to my buddies on the Wish RAK forum for sharing the House Mouse images with me. I am addicted!!!
I used colored pencils and a blender pencil to color the image. It took 9 different shades of green and brown pencils to complete the greenery. Then I added green, white, and red fabric/dimensional ("puff") paint as the cookie decorations and icing. The pile of sprinkles is bronze microbeads. There are also some silver microbeads and gold microbeads on 2 of the other cookies. I dotted the bottle of sprinkles with a metallic gold pen.
I cut the image out with deckle-edge scissors and mounted it to a red panel (corners sponged with Mellow Moss ink). The cream card base was stamped with stars in copper (hard to see) on the right side and covered with red and green Christmas paper (one edge torn and inked with Mellow Moss). Then the entire front of the card was sponged/edged with the Mellow Moss. Then the layered panels were mounted to the card front at an angle.
See my other House Mouse Christmas card (#1) and the inside of the card.
