Christmas Mode, Part Third (and Last)

For my last card, I used two stamps that were in the same box as the ones I used in my last post. I tend to keep my critters together.

Here's my card, then I'll explain:

With all the cute mice stamp sets out there this season, I'd forgotten about this guy. He's an old Hero Arts wood-mounted stamp.

One thing that bugs me about some stamp images is the images face to the left, and I think they should face to the right, where the card opens. So I made a second card:

See? Doesn't this look better? To flip him, I stamped him very carefully on a scrap of acetate (I can say "scrap" instead of "remnant" here since it's too small to use for anything but this), turned it over, and rubbed the ink onto the card front. I went over the lines with a Micron pen.

I followed the current CAS(E) This Sketch! sketch:

I think I'm done with Christmas cards for a while. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Some of the stuff I used: Hero Arts Dancing Mouse stamp, Savvy Stamps sentiment, Copics (0, N0, N2, N4, BG11, BG23, BG07, R03, R14, R35), Hero Arts Charcoal layering papers.
