JINGLE BELLS & CHRISTMAS COLOURS - GDP013
I can hear those bells ringing, Christmas is getting just that little bit closer and it really is a Christmas colour challenge at Global Design Project this week with the colours we have to work with! Here is my project......
Is he not the cutest little elf you ever did see?!! I am sure you can guess the colours we need to use this week...........................
They really do scream Christmas, right? My elf and background are actually one piece of card. I stamped my elf, masked him, then sponged in the background. I coloured my elf with alcohol markers and then trimmed the side of my card in close to the image and allowed part of his hand to extend beyond the egde of the card. I think it gives the illusion that there are more layers on this card than there actually are.
I discovered a secret horde of little Jingle Bells in my craft stash and just had to add them on the card too. Now it jingles when you shake it! See the spotted base card? That is a little sneak peek of a fabulous new stamp set called Timeless Textures! It's in the Occasions Catalogue due for release on 5th of January and is my favourite pick.

DeleteCouldn't be more adorable, Paula. Your technique for creating the Crumb Cake "mist" is amazing, and I love the layering on your card.
