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:

    Oh, Helen, I LOVE this scene! Such cute critters, and they're doing a wonderful job with their tree - it's like the Wind in the Willows! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!

    Helen you certainly have used a lot of layers. But they all look so nice together. The little mouse is precious. Thank you for linking up with us over at Penny's Challenge. Best of luck, DT~Jana

    You've built up the layers so beautifully on the layered card, Helen and I love how the patterns go together. You've stolen my heart though with the oh so cute mouse card. Beautifully coloured and beautifully CAS!
    Hope you are well,
    Hugs
