When the last Bah! Humbug! challenge of the year is upon us, Christmas is not far behind. And this week is the last BH challenge of the year --- Yikes! But if it wasn't for Ann and Max and all the guest designers during 2011 I wouldn't have nearly as many cards done as I do! For the last challenge of 2011 the ladies of Humbug Hall have us seeking out Cute Christmas Critters. I'm glad they specified "Cute" or we could see another invasion of the ugly spider critter from last September! EEK!
So, what would Christmas cards be without a House Mouse stamp or two? There are so many and they definitely qualify as "Cute"!
I was going through a stack of stamps and images I had already colored and found this angelic pair that I colored last year. There was even a sticky note attached reminding me to do white-on-white with candy cane ribbon. So, that's what I did! Dotted Swiss embossing on the bottom layer and a Nesties frame around the image which is mounted on a piece of red card stock. And a simple candy cane bow with Martha Stewart snowflake punch.
I colored them with Copics, but I don't remember what I used to make them shimmer. I just love the humor in this scene and I get the feeling that the bugle is not only loud but off-key as well!
As sad as it is that we won't be seeing Bah! Humbug! for a few weeks, they will be returning in January with even more challenges to get our creative juices flowing for 2012. In the meantime, hop on over to take a look at the inspiration by the design team and participants.
To Ann and Max, thank you for another great year! Love and hugs and Merry Christmas!
