Harvest Mice.

 Hello dear friends: As always, I pray that you and your families are healthy and safe in these very difficult times we're living.

Take care of each other and please, wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many of you know I love mice, as well as spiders.....people find this weird, well maybe it is but that's me. Mind you, I don't have any of these little critters inside my house, especially mice but I do find the occasional spider going up a wall or dashing across the foyer or kitchen floor so, I proceed to catch it with a plastic glass and a piece of cardboard and gently put it outside.

Ok, enough about these critters.  I have a card I've been itching to finish done with another favorite set of little mice.


This is the INSID

A Very Beary Christmas.

 Hello everyone: Every day I pray that you and your families are doing ok in these very difficult times. I hope you are keeping safe and healthy and also, please wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to create a little Christmas card using my stash of uncolored images.


This image is from Lili of the Valley, I have it in plain rubber from years ago, all the papers are also from this company but they are all retired, so sad.
I stamped the image on Canson Mixed Media paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I added some gold details and lots of glitter.

The sentiment and the snowflakes are from Power Poppy set called "Snow Kissed"

I'm playing along with these challenges.

I used it on the vertical.



Thank you for visiting.
Stay healthy and safe and please, wear your masks.
