I have to admit that I had to dig into my old stash of rubber to find some images and in fact, I coloured 2 images for this challenge but this one stood out and screamed to be made into a card first!
I made an easel card of sorts, popping up this huge image by Penny Black.
Of course, very fitting being the Silly Season that I chose an elf as my magical creature.
I coloured using Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Ivory, Grey Granite, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie (for his hair!)
I added some twine and watermark stamped some backgrounds. He twinkles because I couldn't resist adding the snow flurries as background in Pool Party and good old Kindy Glitz got some use on the fur.
As always, a great challenge that was lots of fun to create for. Click on the image to go to their blog and be inspired.
I am wrapping presents today, with all Christmas Parties under our belts and finally some time to stop and relax. Happy creating, Rachael xx
