Dashing through the Snow.

Hello Everyone, 
Thank you for all your messages about Tom. He has finally tested negative and is still feeling a bit rough but definitely on the mend.
I've made a card using an image from Di's Digi Designs, and I can't believe it's my first Christmas card of 2022- this is Dashing Through the Snow Mice.

I've coloured them with promarkers and copics. The background paper is from Make and Create. I've used a Creative Expressions winter tree die, and a memory box star die.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics. The background papers are a mix of bits and pieces from Echo Park, Craftwork cards and Make & Create. I tried to roll up a couple of pieces to make it look like rolls of wallpaper.

It's my sons birthday today, but unfortunately he has been very poorly with COVID  over the last week so it's going to be a quiet one for him. He's feeling a bit better today - hopefully we'll be able to celebrate later in the week.
