Hello and Happy New Year! Today I am sharing a card that celebrates winter, a season that’s still here long after Christmas! Using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Little Mouse and Winter Accessories die sets, I created a snowboarding mouse that isn’t tied to any holiday. The mouse was cut from soft finish cardstock and colored with Distress Oxide inks.

- Cut patterned paper with a die in the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle set measuring 3 3/4 x 5 inches. Stamp the Holiday Treats sentiment on to white cardstock. Cut the panel with the same rectangle die along the bottom, then with a hill die (I used a die in the now-retired ECD Adventure Edges 2 set) on the top. Add the sentiment panel to the patterned paper and the assembly to an A2-size card base.
- Cut the Little Mouse and Winter Accessories pieces from soft finish cardstock. Color with Distress Oxide inks and assemble.
- Add the mouse dressed for the slopes to the prepared base with foam adhesive.
Mouse: Black Soot, Spun Sugar, Tea Dye, Candied Apple
Winter Accessories: Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Faded Jeans
The soft finish cardstock makes a big difference. Love it!
Oh m y gosh, so cute. Your touches of color on the ears and cheeks make for an adorable mouse.
Such a cutie and beautifully colored, Jean – I love the texture the DOI blending gives it!!
