I went with a stamp I've had in my stash for years. It came from a company in the UK called Imagina Clarity and it is part of a series on The Night Before Christmas.
I stamped the image onto Watercolor Paper with Black Stazon ink and colored it using inkpads and an aqua painter. I went for non-traditional colors, using Island Indigo, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight, with a touch on Old Olive on the mouse's cap. Staying with the non-traditional theme, I used some DSP from World Spectacular. Some Candy Dots in opposite corners finished off the card.
I'm linking this card up to Friday Mashup as I've used their sketch, but turned 90 degrees.
Thanks for looking. Head on over to the Merry Monday blog to see what delicious inspiration the rest of the DT have come up with.
