It's time for the last challenge of the year over at CAS Christmas. Strange really as although I think for me the last couple of months have gone by slowly, but when I look back the year has gone!
This month's challenge is 'Christmas Critters'.
I don't have a lot of 'cute' stamps but I have one set from Penny Black called 'Holly Days' and I used one from that set for this make.
I ink blended my panel in shades of blue using a mask for the bottom.
I transferred the mask to the base card and lightly inked along it to continue the hill.
Stamped our happy little soul and watercoloured him. Used a dot stencil and some sparkle paste for the 'snow'!
He makes me smile as he looks so pleased that the sparkly stuff is falling from the sky!
Anyway another one for the Christmas stash which I should really now get round to sorting out and writing!
I'll be back in a few days with my mid month DT card for CAS Mix Up - but until then thanks for visiting and for any comments you leave. x

Super cute critter and I love your sparkly snow, Viv! Beautiful coloring, too! Thanks so much for joining in the fun with us at CAS Christmas!
A lovely card Viv, he's such a jolly chap. This year has flown by for me since becoming a Grandma in January, I never seem to have enough time (Bad blogger too) I think I'll be buying cards this year!

He looks pretty cute to me! Or should I say "happily handsome"?
Viv, this little critter is adorable, he's such a happy mouse :) thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.
What a happy chappie, full of fun and the most adorable card Viv. Thank you for the smile x.
I can't imagine anyone looking at this little guy and not smiling, Viv! You have given him a wonderful blended snowy sky to delight in! I was just like that every year when I lived where it snowed ~ but only for the very first falling flakes of the season, lol! Hugs, Darnell
What a brilliant and happy card. I love how you have created your horizon and followed it through on the base card. Your blending and sparkly snow are great too. well done for taking part in almost all the challenged xx
This is adorable, Viv! I love the joy! Awesome background and coloring!
This little happy mouse is so adorable and he makes me smile too, Viv! Love the
beautiful coloring, inking, and the sparkly snow in the sky. The continuous snowy hill looks wonderful! I'm always happy to see your card in the CAS Christmas gallery. Thank you for sharing!

Oh that's cute and I love the snow! The year has gone quickly but I know it's brought you some disappointment... I hope you soon can settle and at least enjoy your weekend Viv
Oh goodness, Viv! is that bear happy that it's snowing! Love your panel with the snowy sky and dancing bear! xx
You may have only one cute Christmas critter stamp, but it’s perfect for the challenge! He’s adorable and watercolored beautifully. Your ink blended background provided a fabulous backdrop. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas.
Great snowy sky and that is a fun image and colored so beautiful. He looks like he is having so much fun jumping in the snow.
A really joyful card Viv. Certainly made me smile! Great idea to continue the ground over the card front and focal image.
Hugs, Sarnie xxx
What a great Penny Black card. If I was him I'd look pleased also. [Bunny]
I love your cute PB mouse Viv and love his long flowing scarf, and the snowy backdrop and bright blue sky with wonderful falling snow and glittery icy snow on the ground works beautifully and a great idea to extend the snow and blue sky on to the base card. x
I just can’t help smiling at this cute critter, he looks so happy. A great card Viv.
Oh Viv your card is so lovely, I love the cute PB mouse and your wonderful background.
