ABC Christmas Challenge - L & M are for?

It's the second Wednesday of a new month, so that means it's time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge! Carol is the host, and the themes are:

'L is for Lots of Layers'

&

'M is for Mice'

The prize on offer for one lucky winner is this set of Altnew stamps:

For my 'L is for Lots of Layers' card, I used a Hunky Dory image called 'Trimming the Tree'...stamping it on to watercolour apper, and colouring it using watercolour pencils. I paired it with papers from the 'Jolly Santa' pad from The Works...distressing the edges a little, and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

The mouse on my 'M is for Mice' card, is 'XMouse Ornament' by Penny Black. I stamped him directly on to a kraft card blank, then coloured him using watercolour pencils before adding a touch of sparkle to his snowflake using some Stickles. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Wintertime Messages' set by Hero Arts.

I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:

• Addicted to CAS - One Layer (Second card only)
• Happy Little Stampers (Christmas) - Anything Christmas Goes
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
