Hello friends and welcome to the #runuptochristmashop2023 hosted by
@love_smile_and_craft and @kellys.craft. We are going to make a card
each week for 12 weeks until Christmas. This week's theme is "elf
/elves. I was inspired by the elves in Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer TV specials, so I pulled out my
Picket Fence Studios Baby It's Cold Outside stamp set and got to work. After stamping my elves in memento tuxedo black on Neenah white card stock, I colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers. I then took my PFS
slimline cloud coverage stencil and blended Tim Holtz
stormy sky distress ink to create my clouds before layering and adding brads. Taking my Stampin Up holly jumbo wheel, I stamped the card base in Tim Holtz
pine needles distress ink before adding my layered image panel using glue dots. I then added some crystal ice stickles as "snowflakes". However, my card didn't feel finished so I stamped the trees from a new Stampin Up
Peaceful Deer set I received as a RAK from a friend using spruce dye ink before coloring the trees in Prismacolor spruce marker and adding a tad
tumbled glass to the snow. Now it was finished some 5 days later. *shrug* My migraines have been giving me fits again along with other stresses.
Challenges entered:
