Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know, if you haven't heard from me recently it's because my mum passed away from Dementia on Tuesday. It's been a tough week but I know she is now at peace 💓
It's time for CAS Christmas Mid Month reminder.
I'm hosting CAS Christmas this month and my challenge is to pull out some of your stamps which have berries with the foliage.
I'm using a stamp I just picked up from Pink Ink Designs, aren't these little mice adorable. I used the mistletoe sprig to go with the kissing mice 😍
I coloured my image using pencils and framed it using a piece of acetate that I cut using one of my rectangle dies. I lightly blended some colour around the edge. When I was done I added some pearl white pearl pen to the berries.
The Sentiment is from Stampers Anonymous

Adorable mice! Love the background shading and the pearl pen on your berries. A perfect CAS Christmas card. (That was an ideal way to let people know about your Mum - it was good to see you Thursday and sit and chat about her.)
Your card and mice are adorable, Christine. I love your pretty spray of mistletoe. Perfect for your challenge. I will be adding my card later in the month.
I am so sorry, Christine to hear of your mums passing, especially since you are so far away. You have been such a wonderful caring daughter. To finally have her at peace is hopefully comforting. Please know I am thinking of you, dear friend. Love and Big Hugs...Nancy
