Deck the Halls

It is time for another Christmas Challenge over at the Happy Little Stampers blog. The theme is HOLLY
You probably recognize this little mouse if you have been stamping for any amount of time, but, do you recognize the sentiments?
They are from the new Happy Little Stampers Store designed by our fearless leader
Kylie Purtell


I inked the little mouse stamp with versa fine onyx black ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I then used my Zig CLEAN COLOR Real Brush markers. 



I colored the leaves with 2 different greens and the berries with 2 different reds. I used the browns and watered it down with a watercolor brush. I used a light blue and watered it down and went around the whole image to make it POP.


I used the wink of stella to go over the leaves and glossy accents over the berries.
Now lets see your best deck the halls with boughs of HOLLY, Fa la la la la la Fa la la la.
