Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas / March 2023

Here we are with our Crafty Elves' post for March !! We have finally been seeing some signs of Spring here in Virginia. Our temperatures haven't quite figured it out yet, but the pollen is already out in full force. Thanks for  stopping by to see what Michael, Lisa, Misty and I have created to inspire you this month ..

For this month's Crafty Elves project, I am using a fun Holiday Elf stamp designed by my friend, Nola Chandler for Impression Obsession Stamps . Although they are no longer making single red-rubber stamps, they still have many amazing clear stamp sets available. And they will also be releasing some limited edition red-rubber stamps each month.  Holiday Elf is no longer available but you can find Nola's other stamp sets HERE .

• I stamped Holiday Elf  on Mixed-Media paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Dew Drop ink  .
• The image was trimmed then colored with my COPICS.
• I cut 2 pieces of paper from the Spellbinders Winter Wonderland paper pad .The left side of the red patterned paper was cut on the diagonal to show the plaid paper underneath.
• The completed stamped image was adhered to the patterned papers.
• A Tim Holtz holiday sentiment was adhered below the stamped image.
• A turquoise and a red rhinestone were placed as ornaments.
• The completed panel was adheres to a pale pink card base.

The other Crafty Elves have also been busy with their holiday inspiration. I hope you will go and see what they have created !!
