Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This little elfette has been singing away in the box on the shelf.
She finally caught my undivided attention so she could perform for all of you.
This is probably my favorite Penny Black Christmas stamp. Maybe because I love
Christmas carols and most of my friends do too.
When we make Christmas cards together in the fall, we sing along to my favorite
Time Life Christmas CDs. It makes for even more fun to be together.
She was colored with Distress Inks or Distress re-inkers. I don't remember
which, and cut with the companion die.
The background is a piece of re-inker & frost white paint smoosh
from my stash of backgrounds.

This little singer is truly wonderful. I completely understand your admiration for this elf. You used this stamp beautifully, cutting out the character and gluing it onto the card panel, then stepping into the cutout window. The watercolor background is perfect; it reminds me of a snowstorm.

That little elfette is so cute and you colored her beautifully. Love your pretty blue frosty background and those double frames. Glad she got your attention so she could sing for all of us and help you get your Christmas cards done. Thanks for all the lovely inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and white background - perfect chilly look for your cute little elf!
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp too, Bonnie, and you've designed a beautiful card around her. I'm glad that you included every lalala. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am glad she caught your attention because she is a cutie for sure! LOVE her little hat--and her toes! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give to come to your card-playing-sing-a-long, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteThis little cutie who sings with her whole self is my favorite, too! Maybe it's her belly peeking out? lol

She looks so joyful! I love the paint smooshed background, too. What fun it would be to have such a card making sing-a-long!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've staged this little cutie patootie! Darling card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute and that smooshed background is just perfect xx
ReplyDeleteI love the name they've given the stamp as she is definitely singing joyfully Bonnie, and the blue re-inker and frost white paint is a great look for the background with that very pretty white embossed frame, and I love the bits of added music and fa-la-la sentiment coordinate perfectly. x
ReplyDeleteShe's such a cutie and I finally got my hands on her and haven't played with her yet! Maybe I'll take a lesson from you and turn on some Christmas music and start on some cards! Thanks, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteShe looks happy to be singing to us, love the framing and background and would love some music note dies 😍 xxx
