These darling elves (they may have been fairies but they're elves now!) are from Emerald Faeries and I used them for a Christmas card. I love the idea that they are playing with winter Cardinals while they wait for Santa to show up with the list of tasks for the day.
The elves are colored with my newest neon markers from ProMarkers (I think I'm going to love those!) and I did my best to make the colors match the dp I planned to use. I know the colors are more of a "summer bright" than a "Christmas red" but I love the way it looks.
The scalloped border cuts were done with a die from Cheery Lynn, and the trees are also from a Cheery Lynn die. Both the white ribbon and the red ribbon for the bow were in my stash. The Cardinals are die cuts and I think they are from Memory Box but could be Die-namics. I loaned the die to a friend so can't check it right now.
I added sparkle to the wings of the elves and to the white ribbon but it just doesn't show up well in the photo.

My Christmas stash is growing and I feel so relieved. By mid-June, I was thinking seriously that I'd never get enough cards done this year. Now the anxiety is over. Not that I don't have lots more to do, but I always get really motivated during the fall months so I'm sure it'll be OK. 1 or 2 each week should suffice. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
