I've just got my House Mouse Xmas sheets and that is my fave - you have inspired me to cut it out and make a card, hopefully as adorable as this!

Well, I'm going to start the guessing! I'm bound to be rubbish as I don't really know too much about everyone's styles yet!

I think this card was made by Angela.

OK, it was me, this was my SS effort! I believe only one person correctly guessed it was me.......! lol

I enjoyed making this card, although it took a while to get some bits of it right! I coloured the stamped image with my Derwent Studio pencils (had 'em for years, only DD has ever used them! lol) & then I carefully drew over the frosted bits on the house with a glue pen & when it had dried completely, I used Sparkling Snow to emboss it - it took a few tries to time it to heat it to just the right sort of crunchy texture to resemble icing, (well, that's what it's supposed to look like anyway! lol)!

Thank you all for your kind comments, I feel quite encouraged to keep practising my stamping & continue with it now, after struggling so much with it initially - still not very good but I am getting the hang of stamping now, sort of.....! LOL

Well blow me down, I'm gobsmacked, you've been masquerading as a new card maker, don't believe any of it, LOL.
I thought it was a well seasoned card maker Kitten, thank you so much, it's still on display and may well stay there until the New Year.

I've still got my Easter card up on display.

Ye gods, two for two. This is the second one I checked and the second one I got right!!!

I need to go and have a large Pimms to get over the shock - no doubt it will all be downhill from here

I agree Kitten, I too think you are masquerading as a newbie crafter. I reckon in reality you are a craft expert who comes on here to check the lie of the land.

Tis a joke by the way. lol

I was on a roll three out of three until your reveal KWC

As I said in my earlier post I love everything about your card, truly stunning. You are clearly a natural at all of this.:up:

Well ta muchly IMP! x

The metallic candy canes are Stickopotamus ones & the other bits (greeting & some on inside you can't see) are A Touch of Jolee's 3D stickers, both from good old eBay!

Ooh ta Jan - yep, like those IMP! lol

It was hard finding stickers in the same muted tones as the card I'd used, especially as I don't know all the names of the various ranges off by heart yet, so had to trawl through very slowly until I found what I wanted! :bandit:
