Taking an Elf-ie

Today is new release day for Cute As A Button and there are some seriously adorable Christmas/Winter images!  This one is called Christmas Selfie.  I created a sentiment to go with it.  here ya go!





For my card I went with some really old Stampin Up paper I had...gingham, a bow, a glittery sticker sentiment, a couple flowers w/gems and my sentiment.  Can you find the mistake I missed?  It has yet to be fixed, so I'm just sharing the picture with the HUGE error.  I have no idea how I did it...But, I definitely did!  I left off the word Christmas from my sentiment.  Ugh!!  I colored the sentiment using pencil & Glitter gel pen and added some glossy accents and Stickles.

Thanks for looking!

Pink Christmas

Today is new release day for Cute As A Button and there are some seriously adorable Christmas/Winter images!  This one is called Poinsettia Portrait.  I wanted to be a bit different on this card and make it pink and green.  I colored the image using colored pencil and gel pen.  I turned it into a half easel card.  The digi paper and sentiment are from Create With TLC.  The Happy Holidays is a cardboard sticker.  I also added some fun flowers and ribbon.

New Beginnings

This month the challenge theme over at Cute As A Button is 'New Beginning'.  I used the image called 'New Beginnings'.  I colored this image mostly with pencil.  I added some pearls, lace and roses.  The designer paper is double sided, so I used both sides of one piece of scrap paper I had on hand.
