Christmas Elf {Scrapy Land #96}

inside


August is just flying by.  It's already the third Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for a brand new Scrapy Land Challenge.  The theme is always Anything Goes using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

I've created a cute Christmas card to add to my pile.  I'm (very) slowing beginning to work on my Christmas cards.

The following dies were used to create my Christmas card, along with a couple different stamp sets and an embossing folder.


Die-Versions: Tannenbaum (any of these would work as well)
Elizabeth Craft Designs: Entwined Ovals
Tutti Designs: Dotted Nesting Rectangles

I stared out by die cutting the Yupo paper with the Tannenbaum die and coloring it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolor markers.  All the ornaments and string of lights have added dimension and shine from using various colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops.   The outside edge of the die cut was colored using a Krylon Gold Leafing pen.  I dry embossed the front of the card base using a Crafters Companion embossing folder (Wood Grain) before adhering the the Tannenbaum die cut.

The elf is from a Simon Says Stamp set (Naughty and Nice Elves) and was colored with Copic markers.  He was then pop dotted in front of the Christmas tree.

The inside of the card uses a stamp set from Heartfelt Creations (Noel Sentiments).  This was stamped on to a piece of white cardstock die cut using the Dotted Nesting Rectangles using Versafine Clair ink and then heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.  (If you haven't tried this new ink yet, I highly recommend it!  I only have this Twilight color, but I want/need them all :-). ) The Entwined Ovals die cut was then adhered to complete the inside of the card.
