Dreaming of Santa by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans and happy December! 

I don't know about you, but I love the Holidays! The movies, the music, the feeling of joy in the air all around me. I guess I'm just a kid at heart. So making holiday cards are one of my favorites! When I saw this cute little mouse sipping his hot cocoa in 5564 Mousey Christmas Set, I saw something else in my mind.  So I set out to create it. I used a little piece of Post It tape from the Art Impressions Shop and masked out the straw coming out of this cuties mouth. Then I just took my Copic pen and drew in the lines of his mouth that were missing from the mask. Quick result was a little sleeping mouse. I then grabbed 5459 Christmas Mice Set and used the cute little table holding a plate of cookies for Santa. You see, he was sooooo excited for Christmas, that he dressed up in his Santa suit and put out the plate of cookies, but before you know it, he's snoozing away and dreaming of the jolly guy! I could have used a smaller Santa for the dream bubble, but I wanted Santa to seem as large as real life to him. So I grabbed 5775 Front & Back Santa cause I also wanted him to appear as though he's asking you to be quiet so you don't wake the mouse. The papers I used are linked below. Anyway, that was how my mind worked to create this card and I love how it turned out.  I hope you do too! 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today, and until next time - stay crafty!!
