Cas Christmas Card Challenge - November is Critters Month

Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Challenge. This month Barb has asked us to look for those Christmas Critters. Welcome Valerie (Le Scrap de Vava) our Guest Designer for this month, don't forget to head over and say hi.

My little critter is a mouse from Pink Ink Designs. I watercoloured this cute image and added detail with pencils. I added a little water colour and a little stenciling around him and a pearl pen added a little dimension to his hat.

I should have used heat embossing for the image to create a dam for the watercolour but forgot and the red bled a little on the hat and the cane.😠

If this happens just pull out a little undiluted bleach and a fine brush and pull out the colour. 

I find with red bleach does the best job, water will pull most out but always leaves a pinkish residue.

I die cut the image using the stamplorations crazy double running stitch frame die.
