Hi everyone! I don’t know how the illustrators make mice so cute but the sets from Unity Stamp Co. are so adorable I couldn’t resist! They remind me of children’s books I guess and I have always loved books! Almost every Saturday morning I was standing on the corner waiting for the city bus to take me uptown to the library. My mom didn’t drive! We rode the bus a lot even across the river to an even bigger city! A whole different era for sure.
I couldn’t get the sparkle to show in my other pictures so I had to do this one using light in my stamp room.
I stamped the house from the ‘Where Christmas Lives’ set on a watercolor panel, colored it with Distress watercolor pencils and regular watercolor pencils. The mouse on another piece of watercolor paper and colored the same way. Inspired by Lisa Arana, Dahlhouse Designs blog.
I made myself get the sewing machine out. Stitched with the thread Cindy @ starlitstudio.net sells. I’ll link below.
Layered the panel with thin mounting squares onto a dark red cardbase… Not quite A7 size but I’ll send in an A7 size envelope for one forever postage stamp.
Die cut the MB Holly Double Arch die because a card has to have holly this time of year! hoho I die cut both dies in red and green. Cut the berried off the green and glue on top of the red. Easy way to get berries without fiddling with little circles. YAY!
The Holly Double Arch die appears to be discontinued. Here’s some other dies that I think would work… HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
Here’s a video…hope it loads ok. Thank you Leslie for letting me know the last one loaded good for you! ‘preciate feedback so much!
