happy holidays from Henry Mouse

I absolutely adore Henry Mouse!  He is just so cute!  I couldn't wait to ink up one of the new Christmas images.  I decided to use the Henry Mouse with Christmas Bauble first. The color scheme I chose was a maroon, cream, and ocean tides.  I used some patterned paper designed by Kelly Panachi that I've had for quite a few years now and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Holiday Tree stamp set.

 

I colored him with copic markers and sponged the edges of my card with antique linen distress ink.  Then, I stitched my layers, added my ribbon with a button in the center, and assembled the card.  Last, I stamped the sentiment, sponged distress ink around the edges, added an ocean tides layer and a scarlet jewel button before adhering it to my card.

  

My son absolutely loves the new Henry Mouse images, too, and couldn't wait to make a card!  He created this cute card with the Henry Mouse eating Cookie image.  I love seeing the cards he makes!

Have a good one!

Niki

Your card is absolutely fabulous Niki. The colour combo you chose is perfect.
But I have to admit that your son's card is even more striking!!! I was so touched that he loves Henry. My 3 year old son is a fan of the cute mouse too and it is so heart warming that our kids share our interest and hobbys. Thanks so much for sharing!

What a great card - I love the colours and all the elements on it.

Just one word of warning - starting your son off in card making so young is going to cost you a fortune! His card is great as well!
