Snow Much Fun – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

I’m back with another card for Jane’s Doodles and I just had to create a card using the adorable mice from the Winter Wishes stamp set. At the moment the stamp set has sold out, but you can pre-order it as they will be arriving in the store next week.

I created my own mask and used distress inks to make some snow banks. The mice and the tree are coloured with Copic Markers.

It is hard to tell, but I spritzed the blue background with some Perfect Pearls and it has a lovely shimmer to it. These mice look like they are singing Christmas (or is that Christmouse?) carols. Such cute little critters!

And because I think all the characters in this set are cute, I couldn’t leave the snowman out – so I gave him a card all to himself, drinking a hot cup of chocolate with marshmallows! Both cards use sentiments from another Christmas set called Warm Wishes.

It’s starting to feel a little bit like Christmas on my blog today, with these fun tags using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. Christmas will be here before we know it, so I am getting in nice and early! These were really quick and easy to make – I think I may need to make some more experimenting with other colours.

Love You and Hello – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

Hello. I hope you have had a fabulous Monday and a great weekend. I’ve just had 2 very lovely days with my Mum, two sisters and my niece in Sydney. We went to see Matilda on Sunday night and it was a brilliant show! I’m back home now and feeling tired, but I’m on holidays, so I’m going to take things very slowly!

I’m popping in with a couple of Jane’s Doodles cards that were over on the Jane’s Doodles blog recently.

First up is this floral card and I love how easy it was to create. I white heat embossed the image from Spring Blessings onto coloured card stock and then did some simple colouring with Copic markers.

Love You JD | Marion Vagg
