Moving Along With The Times - my challenge

Today it's time for my challenge on the Moving Along with the Times blog.  I'm asking everyone to create a card with either Santa or his elves or both on.  I've used the ever so cute #Elfie stamp set to create a simple, but effective card. 

I stamped this happy little fellow in black Memento ink on to a piece of whisper white card and then used my Stampin' Blends aka alcohol markers to colour him in.  Colours used included Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake all in light and dark shades as well as Soft Suede dark.  

Regular visitors will know that I love bling and so I gave him rhinestone bells on his cute shoes and glitter enamel dots for detail and if I'm honest to cover the finger smudge!!! Yes we all have them.  

With a black journalling pen I added some freehand doodles around the edge of my design to act as a frame and then matted this layer onto a card base. 

My sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas which I received free as a gift for achieving enough points as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator last year to attend the incentive trip.  If you'd like to know more about joining Stampin' Up! and my team so that you too can enjoy discounts and the opportunity to earn rewards please do contact me at zoetant@live.co.uk for more information.  Start the new year with a new hobby or business.
