I die cut watercolour card and glitter card using Clarity Crafts Nested Squares and I also die cut a Creative Expressions Christmas sentiment from glitter card.  I put the die cut glitter card to one side.

Using Versafine Clair Nocturne I stamped the House Mouse Hold On stamp onto the die cut square and onto a second piece of watercolour card.  Using Clarity Crafts stencil brushes and a MFT stencil with blue Distress inks I coloured the sky on the die cut watercolour card.   I then water coloured the die cut square then I watercoloured just the mice on the second stamped image.  I  left to dry.

I recently found a box of MDF pieces and decided to use one on this card.  I used acrylics to paint the frame and left to dry.   I attached some old patterned paper to an A5 card and added red satin ribbon at the top.

Once the stamped die cut image was dry I attached to the die cut glitter card using brads.  I layered three die cut sentiments, gluing each layer then adhered to the stamped scene.  I very carefully fussy cut the mice, somehow keeping it in one piece.  

I lightly shaped the mice then adhered them with Pinflair Glue Gel to achieve a lovely 3D look.   I made a red satin bow and adhered that to the MDF then adheredthe MDF onto the card front.  I used a glossy medium to make the ice look real, sadly I wasn't able to capture that in my photos.   I added Viva Decor 3D snow gel at the bottom to finish.  Back soon x
