"N" for Noel

I love scraps.
Paper scraps from Stampin' Up, ribbon from my scrap ribbon bag and leaves and bling leftover from other projects. Gather everything up and put it together with my House Mouse stamp called "Joyous Noel" and cool beans my next card is born.  :-)                                                                                                                                                                      


I used water color pencils from Stampin' Up to color TWO House Mouse stamps and cut the mouse at his belly button (sorry Mudpie) to pop out the leaves. To break up the background green I used regular sewing thread to string around my Scalloped Circles Nestabilities set.   I even used some scrap cuts from from that set to give it more depth.   Scraps, Scraps, Scraps.

I hope you enjoy this idea.  Have a great weekend.

Very clever, love how he has been cut (oops) to fit in the leaves and such detail on the scallop with that interesting effect. Thank you for sharing and playing along at Winter Wonderland this week, hope you will be back on Friday for the next fun challenge
