Pesky Elves.


I have been trying to get this card posted for over a week now and keep forgetting to take a photo of it. When I do remember the light has gone so too late.  Not great photos today but the best I could get.
When I  saw this image from  A Day For Daisies I just knew I had to purchase it asap. It's called 'Elves at Work' and just perfect for my next inspiration card to show you for the  Butterfly challenge which for this month only is #68 All Kinds of Fairies,Elves, Gnomes and Pixies.
The challenge runs until the 27th of December so still  time to enter.

First card taken with the flash off. The red word design paper is by Pink Petticoat "Joy & Merry Winter  Wishes" The parcel paper  is from a freebie magazine pack and is a 'Holly Hobby' design.
I have backed the digi image onto an offcut of cardboard (from a porridge cereal box) to stiffen and coloured with my promarkers and pearlescent chalks. Fronted with a sheet of acetate (thankfully I missed the glare from the camera) . Silver stickers and sentiment from my stash.

I took this photo with the flash on which gives a better idea of the colours.

That image has your name all over it with those cute elves. I especially like the impish one peeking from behind the big pressie. I wonder what he's hiding behind there?!
