ABC Christmas Challenge - L & M are for?

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

'L is for Letters'
&
'M is for Mistletoe'


On my 'L is for Letters' card, I used a cute little stamp from the Penny Black 'Christmas Critters' set, stamping him directly on to a kraft card blank, and colouring him using watercolour pencils - I love the detail of all of the fun things he asked 'Father Christmouse' for! The huge sentiment is from an unbranded set.


For my 'M is for Mistletoe' card, I used another Penny Black stamp, this one's called 'Wishes for Kisses'. I stamped it on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I apired it with papers from the 'Peppermint Forest' pad by Craftwork Cards...distressing the edges and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Scribbly Christmas set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous.


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

    I absolutely love the Penny Black critters and you have produced two very different cards that both draw maximum points for cuteness from me! Gorgeous cards, Helen.
