The new Peace on Earth challenge's mood board includes an image of a group of carollers (see top left image on the mood board at the end of my post). It inspired me to get out a stamp I hadn't yet inked up.
I stamped and watercoloured the group of mice, keeping the clothing muted like the image, and then sponged around them with Distress inks similar to the sky and ground in the image. I splattered with opaque white watercolour for snow.
I had done an earlier version where I made the colours of the mice's clothing brighter than in the mood board image, but wasn't as happy with it so redid it for the one above. This is the earlier version:

We'd love to have you join us, whether you're inspired by the mood board or prefer to link up an "anything Christmas" card. There's more inspiration from the Design Team over at Peace on Earth.
I'm also linking my card up at NBUS since I'd never used the stamp before. And to the ABC Christmas Challenge "Q is for Quartet (four of something - my quartet of singers).
