Swinging mouse!

The PBSC challenge this week is an ATC - I don't often make these and haven't made any for a while. I fund them too small!!I used Xmouse Ornament and watercoloured it. I cut it out (and nearly chopped its tail off LOL!) and put glitter glue on the snowflake. I have used navy glitter card and snowflake paper from Anita's Christmas papers. I wrapped silver beads round the ATC and positioned the mouse to look like he is sliding down it.

The Secret Crafter Saturday challenge is to use blue, white and a bit of snowflake, so I used the Saturday Sketch and my ATC to create a card (sorry it didn't scan very well, and the light is too bad for photos here today).
The papers are Dovecraft and snowflake embossed white cardstock. I added star and blue gems and white organza ribbon.
Yet another Christmas card made!

Aww such a cute ATC - cutting tails and ears off are my speciality, especially when it's such a small delicate image!!!
Great idea to use it also to make a card!
