Be your best elf...

Hey there!

I'm jumping in real quick to share a card that I made for this month's SOG challenge to use speech bubbles. I've been wanting to play with my Kaylee's Closet set again for a while now so I challenged myself to give her a winter outfit without using the actual Winter Warmth coat ensemble. It wasn't too bad... I just got the capri pants to line up with the boots and I drew in an extra shirt layered underneath her hoodie but when I wanted a slouchy hat to add to her bundled up look I had to grab a pen and draw one from scratch. I added some texture to it with an old Prima screen looking stamp and it turned out pretty good, though all this work had me longing for some new Kaylee's Closet stamps... most especially long pants, longer dresses, and a Mae or Gwen version in that same pose. Fingers crossed! ;)

To really drive home the Christmas theme I borrowed a present from the Deer Mae set and drew in a new hand to hold it after tucking it into the crook of Kaylee's arm. Now this little girlie really is enjoying being her very best elf this holiday season. :)

Well, I've gotta get a move on.

You are a master at altering stamps and giving them a new identity! Love it! That hat is awesome!!! I used to have several just like it back in the 70's! Hehe, glad to see them returning to fashion!
