Holly Jolly Critters

I've been wanting this stamp for a while and finally treated myself to it this month so I decided I should ink it up before Christmas passes this year!  Using all 4 critters only just fitted on my 6" card so I experimented by masking one off (sorry Santa-hedgie) for one of my two cards.  The sentiment comes from the same stamp.
