Yes, yes, I’ve left the challenge until the end of the month again. But it’s not like I haven’t been busy making other Christmas cards; at this rate, I might even be finished by the end of November!
This cute little mouse balancing on his bauble deserved to be the star of the card, so I threw out all thoughts of complicated scenes and simply coloured him with my Copic markers, just giving him a shadow beneath the bauble.
A nice big sentiment in silver and black was the only other thing needed… apart from some silver faux stitching at the top and bottom to finish off the edges.

I love this. That little mouse is so cute, and your colouring is great. The clean, simple look is perfect for such a little showoff
