I picked this Penny Black Caroling Trio stamp for my Creatures. I have always loved this image and decided to spark it up a smidge and use some brighter colours for this card. I had a snippet of musical note organza ribbon and thought it suited the carolling mice quite nicely.
I chose that brilliant teal card for the mat as I happened to have that snippet in my bits box, already edged punched and all. What luck!
Once I had the image matted and mounted on the background DP design, I added a couple of dollar store lime green felt snowflakes from my stash. These came on a sheet of bright aqua and bright green snowflakes in various sizes. I think they were great value for money and enjoyed using their bright shot of colour.

Aw, what a darling card Mo! That stamp is one of my favourites and it's great that you went for non-traditional colours such as the turquoise and lime green!

These are the most adorable critters, Maureen! I wonder what carol they are singing?

Love the fab image and colours.xxx
You've been so clever lately using up so many snippets and this is another delightful one too. I love PB images, and especially these little critters. Your $ store finds always intrigue me since you use them so well. Great shopping find. Love the chevron border on the mat, and the dual color background. Your music border is absolutely the perfect embellie on this one. Well done! TFS &Hugs
I have meeces too but I have used an old used Christmas card so can't lay claim to the colouring. Yours sure are cute. hugs Mrs A.
so very cute Mo - adorable make! Big hugs Rachel x

This is so cute Maureen, love that image. Not sure how I got the wrong challenge but trees are written in my book...did the challenge get changed or have I completely lost my marbles??? Well I enjoyed making my card and I've got some critters for tomorrow. Carol x
Such an adorable trio, and a fabulous card. I love the DPs and the punched edge on the matting layer.

Ok, what's the difference between a creature and a critter? Either way, this image is really cute. I think I may have it. I like the combo of pp you used and that music ribbon is very pretty.
Gorgeous, cute and adorable a wonderful card
