Good Tidings of Great Joy

How is it just a few days until Christmas?! Time has been flying here and am looking forward to a couple of weeks off. 

Our final Little Red Wagon challenge of 2022 is hosted by the lovely Imke and she wants to see "Angels". 

Of all the cards I've ever made, this one took me the most amount of time to create. That's because there were supposed to be six of them. I stamped and coloured six sets of those mice (including a set of Joseph) but, when I cut them on my Scan'N'Cut, the poor little mice all lost their tails. It was something horribly reminiscent of the Three Blind Mice nursery rhyme. Fortunately, little Jesus had his tail tucked safely away under his swaddling clothes and was spared. Anyway, I had to quickly do up another (single!) set of the nativity leading cast and fussy cut them. Despite five remaining backgrounds, I decided I was done! And Joseph seemed to crowd the scene so I opted to leave him out. Perhaps Mary sent him off to pick up some extra finger foods to serve all the unexpected guests. 

I used an MFT stencil to create my multi-scene background and then stamped with a sentiment/verse from Sweet and Sassy's Born This Day stamp set. The adorable little mice are from Clearly Besotted's Nativity Play stamp set (which seems to be discontinued). Hopefully, Imke is okay with my angel having big ears and a tail!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to be immersed in angelic inspiration - and then use an angel (or a  multitude of heavenly hosts!) to create your own project.

Wherever you are, I wish you a very happy Christmas and/or the happiest of holidays to those who celebrate differently. Whatever you believe, may your holidays be filled with joy and peace.
