I bought this stamp with a bunch of others about 2 years ago. It has remained in the box since that time, but when I heard that the challenge from ABC Christmas, was E for Elf, the old grey matter whirred into action and I remembered this little chap.I coloured him with my Copics in the required red and green for the challenge, and paper pieced the present with some dotty backing paper. I have to say that this was really fiddly!
The front of the card was embossed with a Nestie square and some smaller ones used for cutting and mounting the image.
The sentiment is from Papermania and the card is finished with a length of grosgrain ribbon!
We are meeting some friends for lunch today in Guildford, hopefully my car will be ready sometime before we have to leave, it's been in the garage for 3 days... an expensive 3 three days, it needed a couple of things to be done, at a cost which I expect will be approaching £1000. (If I'm to believe the costings told me over the phone). Still, apart from servicing, this car hasn't needed any attention ever since I bought it, so I should be grateful for small mercies I guess.
Love the card but hate the car bill. Wow that seems excessive but I guess they do nothing for nothing these days. Bank loan it is then!
