Sweet Ellie













 

Hello friends, I am a little late getting a creation to you today.  I have busy cleaning, wrapping gifts, and designing some last minute tags and cards.  I do enjoy the hustle and bustle just a bit, I do not let it stress me, I try to enjoy the Christmas cheer!  I am sharing this adorable elephant from JustRite called Ellie Time, isn't that the cutest face, so sweet.  I added a glass glittery heart in his hands, a carnival ticket with the sentiment "I love you".  I distressed the edges, added stitching, and curled the corner in for more texture and detail.  I used the copic paper X-Press for the main image.  I heat embossed it using Judikins embossing powder 
and then colored the image with copics.  I used today's SC312 and the Color Q, CQC64 colors.  I want to encourage you to remain calm during the next couple of days, the only thing that matters is each other and remembering the real reason we celebrate Christmas.  The birth of Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Enjoy.
