Skating mice in non traditional Christmas colors

I'm really behind on my Christmas cards this year, but I tried to get into the spirits by using the Lawn Fawn set of skating mice I did quite a few cards with last year, in addition to stamps from two other Lawn Fawn sets.
The background was made with blue Distress Oxide ink.
A lot of fussy cutting was done, and some elements were raised with foam tape. I heat embossed the heart the mice supposedly have formed with their skates, using white embossing powder.
The sentiment, heat embossed in gold,  is from Concord&9th. I love this one - to me Christmas IS the most wonderful time of the year.

I was inspired by the colors from the Color Throwdown photo.


This card is for:
Color Throwdown - #598
Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog - #23 Anything Goes
ABC Christmas - L is for Love

      What a sweet, immensely lovely wintertime greeting that is every bit as adorable and the season itself is chilly.

      You've been so good at making the most of these stamps and no two cards have been the same. I love how you used the colours here.
