Christmas Mice

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created for three challenges. Hand Stamped Sentiments #494 has a great sketch for us. The fun colors for my card are from Colour INKspiration #214. And for Just Add Ink Challenge #791 the theme of my card is Christmas.

I had a special person crafting with me today. I was unboxing the Christmas Mice Suite with my grandaughter, who is 7, she immediately wanted to create a card. She makes cards often. She asked if I would share her card with all of you when she was finished. She had some help with the die cuts and embossing the background.
