Today, I've been paired with the AMAZING sponsor (drum roll please...) Newton's Nook Designs! I'm right at home! SOOOO excited to share more amazing inspiration with this incredible shop!

I've been on that team as DT Coordinator for a LONG time (I was an ORIGINAL DT member when they started!! Love you Jen!)!
I used the ADORABLE Naughty or Mice stamp set to create my card! 

squuuuuueeeeeak! love it!
that little mouse with the reindeer antlers...I can't even! ha! I colored him up with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut him out with the coordinating dies! 

to create the trees, I die cut out 4 of the tree branch shape from white cardstock using the Festive Forest Coordinating Dies!! then on another piece of white cardstock, I did some watercoloring with Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover! once it was all dry, I die cut out more of the tree branch shapes, and used part of the sheet to back what had already been die cut out of the white cardstock! instant magic forest! 

to make this card even more fun, I added some white glitter stickles on some of the tree branches and did some small white polka dots in the sky with a stencil and white embossing paste!
