Our challenge this month is "Angels / Things with Wings". Our sponsor for this challenge is Sherry West Art and the winner of this challenge will receive a special surprise from Sherry!
This image is Merry Christmouse. So pure, innocent and peaceful. I colored her up with Copic markers. The paper is part of the Winter Wonderland Collection by Doodlebug.
I have to share a funny story about this image. After I printed it off, it sat on my desk for a few days before I started coloring. While coloring I was looking at the space between her hands and was trying to figure out if it was part of the dress or maybe a heart...I wasn't sure so I colored it as part of her dress. I finished the coloring and the name of the image came to mind and I thought hmmm, why is it called Christmouse then it hit me - she's holding a mouse! So, out came the colorless blender and lightened the blue and recolored the tiny mouse grey. I really need some fresh air!
