This is cool!


I had the honor today of being picked for 1st place of the Color It challenge on Caardvarks. This is so exciting for me. I am rocking out my little RV with happy dancing and whoop whoop whooping!
I had a lot of fun putting this card together. The stamps are from a older Christmas set from Close To My Heart. It is a really sweet set but I always had a little trouble with the scale. The set has 3 different sizes of elves. Makes it hard to mix and match them. What I think helped me pull this together was when I decided to outline the card with the same style as the lines of the stamps themselves. If you look at the stamps closely, they have this little added dots and dashes throughout. Once I started matching that style, the little tingle of magic happened.
Thank you Cardvaarks. I really love being mentioned with my friends and fellow Flickr mates Tracey, Virginia, Vanessa, Jane, Scrapflower, Nina, Lea and Vera. Massive talent in that last sentence... massive amounts!
Till next time, ENJOY! the Oz
