House-Mouse & Friends Blog Hop Challenge

Hi friends, 

I have a little something different to share with you today. I have been collecting House-Mouse Stamps for quite sometime and I ran across a fun Blog Hop this week over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge 182 so I decided to give it a go. I decided to go with a cute Christmas Card as the challenge theme is "Brr it is cold outside, with an optional anything goes". I did not have any outside winter stamps that showed snow or something cold so I thought Mr. House snuggling up with a kitty was as close as I could get.

 I've made this card for my mom for her Christmas Card. She loves her tabby kitty so I attempted to make him look like a tabby. The mouse is fast asleep and they are curled up inside staying warm wanting for Santa hopping to get some nibbles from the treats he is going to leave in the stockings.

I have used my Silhouette Cameo to cute out this sweet card. I Also used Copic Markers to color this adorable stamp with and chosen some Prima flowers and a sentiment from the stamp set From Treasured Times Rubber Stamps called "Vintage Santa & Sentiment Set" By Illustrator Vickie Duffill. This stamp set has so many wonderful images. 
Here is the stamps you receive in this amazing sentimanet set. You can purchase it by going to the Treasured Times Stamps Shop.

    Gorgeous card, Melanie! Your mum is going to adore it and she'll surely notice the colouring of the little tabby. Great job on the little flowers they look almost frosty and I think you nailed the challenge. *Hugs*
