Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When Michele came to visit, she brought her Sing Joy stamp set for me to use.
I stamped several and then decided that I really needed to have this set so
I could stamp on cardstock to color with Copics. (I thought it was a good reason!)
An even better reason when I discovered that there is a die set to go with it.
I posted a card last week for the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas for the Cure challenge.
I used pink poinsettias but it wasn't all pink. So I challenged myself to only use
pink and neutrals.
The background was done with Distress Ink on acetate, spritzed and smooshed on a
piece of mixed media paper. Then I stamped and heat embossed some little snowflakes
on the background and added some torn snowbanks for this darling to stand on.
The whole design was added to a dry embossed snowflake background.
Little Pink Elfette was stamped on mixed media paper and colored with inks and
my waterbrush. The stripes on her scarf and hat brim were done with a marker.
When she was all watercolored and dry, I used the die to cut her out so she could
do her thing on the snowbank.
Don't you love how she's singing her heart out? What Christmas carol do you
suppose she is singing?

I'm so very happy that she and her friends have found a home with you, Bonnie - a wonderful place to call home! She's as pretty as can be in all that pink... Joy to the World is the song she's singing I'm sure of it!

Just so darn cute!! Love her all in pink and I think she is singing Noel!
Sweet littler caroler dressed in pink. Love your card. Glad she found a home with you. She is on her way to my home also. I have been inspired (enabled) by your cards and Michele's card.
Oh Bonnie...she is absolutely ADORABLE all decked out in PINK!! Your background and embossed card base all fit her perfectly as she sings out her JOY! Sweet, SWEET card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Michele has the best goodies to share, doesn't she? Your little pink elf is the cutest, but that BACKGROUND....wowza! It's fabulous!
Adorable caroling elf, Bonnie, and I love your background!!
Definitely a Joy image and card. love it. x
She is so sweet - I really like the color and the background that you have created ...

She is singing for joy because of that wonderful background you gave her, Bonnie. She's darling in pink as she sings "O Come All Ye Faithful."
Of course that was a good reason and doesn't she look amazing in pink? Love the pink sky too xx
Such a lovely ephemeral pink & white background for your joyful singing elfette! The whole card is delightfully charming, Bonnie!
Oh my gosh is this ever cute and just adorable in all pink. Kudos to you for doing the stripes too. NO way would I have gotten it that neat. That little girl just makes me smile!
I can just hear her sweet little voice now, Bonnie! This is a darling card with your little lady all dolled up in pink!
What a sweet little singing elf from PB and love all the pink you managed to get on this beautiful card, and the embossed starry background and the added stars over your smooshing both look so pretty Bonnie. x
Love the way you kept it all pink! Also love the way you smooshed the sky and then heat embossed the snowflakes. I think the little elfette is singing the word "O" at either the beginning of O Holy Night or O Come All Ye Faithful.
Little Pink Elfette is just the cutest, Bon! I can see why you fell in love with her and now I'm in love with her and want her, as I'm sure all the ladies above me are! I love the embossing and the background is just sensational! Thank you for playing with my IDEAS this embossing week and for linking again to NBUS! Mwah! Hugs, Dolly
Pretty in pink and ADORABLE! She's a definite cutie, and Michele is great at inspiring us into placing things in our carts. The all pink is fantastic, love her sweet outfit and perfect fit background
Adorable colored and die cut singer, Bonnie:-) TFS all your details, my friend. Love and hugs...Nancy
Oh, what a sweet Christmas card. As it turns out, the color pink looks beautiful on a Christmas card. Beautiful inspiration, thank you so much, Bonnie.
