The Friday Free For All Challenge, F4A353 Christmas Critters (11/25/16), was to make a Christmas card with a critter on it. This provided the perfect excuse to put some ink on a brand new House Mouse stamp that I couldn't resist buying when I saw it at JoAnn's. Mudpie Mouse is too cute for words, isn't he?!
The background for this card is SU's new deep emboss folder called Cable Knit and I love the warm cozy result when it is done in a soft natural ivory.
I decided to go totally CAS on the rest of the card, not even bothering to color Mudpie Mouse except for a little blush of color on his cheeks. The ribbon was attached by cutting a couple of slits in the cardstock and lacing the ribbon through, finishing it with a simple knot. The image panel was popped up with a layer of fun foam underneath to give it stability when it goes through the mail.
I finished it off with a dainty stitched tag with the tiniest wrapped peppermint candy. Is it not the cutest thing, EVER? I have been hoarding these Little B Holiday Peppermint 3-d stickers for 2 years and decided that it was time to use them or lose them. Much better to use them, while I can still find them, right?!
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at Mudpie. You're Sweet for doing so!
