Just a quick one from me this morning... busy, busy. :)
So I have another altered Gorjuss Girl turned Christmas card today. I used Flower Girl and swiped away her daisy chain and some hair where I wanted to draw in pointy elf ears, before stamping the image. For those who asked, I'll see about putting together a little show and tell on how I do that here soon.
This is also my first time playing in The Sugar Bowl challenge but I decided to give it a go since along with the sketch the requirement was to make it a Christmas theme... easy peasy. As you can probably tell, the sketch layout is a lot more layered than my usual style and it was not so easy peasy to step outside of that comfort zone. In the end though I think it's always good to stretch yourself creatively. :)
Later gators!

Your layering is superb! It's challenging to sometimes go outside of "the box," but don't you feet well-rounded & even a better stamper? :)
You have done an amazing job making her an elf. Absolutley beautiful. xo Jackie
Suhweet! The papers are just delicous but that *elf* - perfection! Such a whimsical and fun card all the way around! TFS!
I laughed out loud when I saw those fabulous ears! I think you stepped out of your comfort zone in an awfully good way!
