Christmas Card, Ellie With Santa's Hat


As I saw Beccy's card for Day 5: E,
I got this idea to use the Ellie image for a Christmas card.
So here it is, Ellie with Santa's hat.

I used:
White card stock,
Cream paper for the mat.
Scrap papers.
Embossing folder: Darice.
Image: Beccy (Ellie with daisy).
I painted Santa's hat on Ellie's had,
used Tombow.
The white edge of the hat I made on another paper,
fussy cut it and glued it to the hat.
Nuvo Stone drops on the white parts of the hat.
To hide the daisy, I glued two holly leaves on the flower.
Holly die: Papirdesign.
Snowflake punch: Marvy Ushida. Nuvo Stone Drops.
(After the card was finished,
I saw I should not have placed the snowflakes on it.
Too late to remove them now.)
Red and green pens.

Home, Sweet Home

When I use digital images on my cards,
I often choose pre coloured ones.
But as I saw this stool on one of Beccy's
"Welcome home" set,
I thought of my mother's yellow stool
where she sat as she was sowing and planting.
And while she was doing that during the spring,
I wanted to use light spring colours on my picture.
I have so good memories of my dear parents,
doing their garden so well.

White double card A6,
White card stock.
