Merry Christmouse

The current brief for Jingle Belles is to use (gah) pink somewhere on your project.



So I gritted my teeth and made this:


I might be a little proud of myself since this Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper is pretty ancient. It does have pink in it, though.

Speaking of ancient, I flocked the mouse's hat:


I think I've had that SU flocking since 2002 or 2003.

Isn't that mouse stinkin' cute? I don't know what's come over me lately with all these cute images.

I followed the current MFT sketch:


(I turned it 90 degrees.)  I may try the sketch again later and actually use an MFT image. ;/

Thanks for stopping by!

Some of the stuff I used: SSS/LF Stamptember Merry Christmouse collaboration set, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6x6 paper pack, SU white flocking, SU 2-way glue pen (best way to make that flocking stick that I've found), SSS Stitched Rectangles, LF Stitched Hillside Borders.

    You rocked the pink. Your rodent looks good with that fluffy hat. I think I still have some of that Basic Grey paper too.

    You used pink! But in a perfectly classy way. That mouse really is cute. Where'd Leslie go anyway? :D

    Really cute! This weekend I already pulled out my ancient Eskimo Kisses papers for more inspiration for this challenge. I seem to be doing that every year for the JB Pink Christmas challenge lol.

    That's funny about the ancient flock. Last night we talked about things that were the rage and are dead now or rarely used. We didn't think of flock. Anyway, cute card, love the greeting. One would not look at this card and yell PINK! Well, maybe you since you have such an aversion to it. It doesn't feel pink though.

I'd love to hear what you really think! :-)
