Guest Designer Reminder for Christmas Craft Creations December 2023 Challenge - Decorations

Hello everyone.  For those who celebrated, hope you had a wonderful Christmas.  I’m back today to share my guest designer (GD) reminder card for the December DECORATIONS challenge at Christmas Craft Creations (CCC). 


I chose lights this time and used Balancing Mouse and Tangled Penguin stamps sets from Gerda Steiner Designs (GSD) to create a playful scene.  I just can’t decide if the mouse was naughty tangling up the penguin or being nice trying to help untangle him. 😂*lol*

Please note: affiliate links have been used when possible in this post.  Thank you for your support.

Stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and masking were used on an alcohol marker friendly Stitched Rectangle panel.  Started with the penguin, followed by the string of lights in between and ending with the mouse.  Before the masks were removed, light gray dye ink was ink blended over a Brick Pattern stencil for the background.


The fun sentiment was black heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder for some sparkle.  The scene was coloured with the following Copic Sketch markers:

mouse - E41/42/43/44/47 
penguin- C0/2/4/6/9, YR04/27
hat - C00/1/3/4, R14/27/46/37 
lights - RV04, YR07, Y15, G05, BG05, FB2, BV13, V04, R29 
floor shading - T0/1/3/5 

For dimension, mounted the panel atop two pieces of cardstock onto a white card base, then gave the lights some shine with some Nuvo Crystal Glaze on top to finish.


I want to thank Charlotte and the CCC team for having me as their guest.  For more inspirations from the CCC team and/or link up your own entry, click HERE.  Thank you for stopping by.

So adorable Trina. The mouse has a mischievous look on his face. I'd say he was adding to the tangle on the penguin. :) Fun card, my friend! xx
