Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.
On this week’s Live with Michele, I created this sweet Christmas card using the Christmas Mice Bundle from the A Little Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. This adorable bundle and suite will be available in September as part of the September–December Catalogue.
Last week I coloured these adorable little mice using Stampin’ Blends, but this week I wanted to show you a different look by using Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils, Blender Pens, and Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

The design itself is simple, allowing this cute little mouse to take centre stage. I love using Watercolour Pencils because the colours blend so beautifully. With just a Blender Pen or a Water Painter, the pencil lines soften and melt together, creating a lovely hand-painted finish.
TIP:
If you use Basic White Cardstock instead of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, be sure to use a light touch when blending with a Blender Pen or Water Painter. Basic White Cardstock absorbs moisture much more quickly, and overworking it can cause the paper fibres to break down.
