Happy Elf

 


I love taking part in the progressive freebie challenges that Stamper's Delights have over on Facebook. You play one month with any Stamper's Delights image and then you can request the following months set to play with. I have a lot of Janice's images and especially like the Kawaii and Chibi style ones.

This little Xmas Happy Elf was the freebie for November.  I have had it printed from before Christmas but didn't get the opportunity to use it so decided to colour it for this month's challenge. I am loving making Christmas cards all through the year so this helps to get me prepared in advance too ☺

I knew I wanted to use red and green and coloured with Promarkers adding Stickles glitter glue to the fur trim. The image has been fussy cut and popped up on some thin foam squares for dimension.



I used the current Stella Says Sketch for the layout. I don't have very much elf themed paper but this 'Express Your Elf' paper is from a 6"x6" pad I picked up from Poundland early last year before all hell broke loose so this dictated the main card colour scheme. I used an A4 sheet of kraft card for the base and added a rectangle of red card. The green and red circles are from one of those Papermania shapes boxes that were all the rage years ago. I have 3 boxes and have so rarely used them but they were perfect for this.

The patterned paper is from the Christmas Glitter Stack by DCWV. The wavy background I thought would be perfect with this cheeky elf, so colourful and fun. It has lots of glitter in it too so matches well with the image.

A strip of the elf paper has been matted onto a scrap of the red card to follow the card sketch. I then added some self adhesive gems and some tiny buttons and this is complete.
