Day 23 - U

(Beccy's post with "U" inspiration words and handsome

Nutcracker in Uniform card to inspire are HERE)

My "U" project is an Upside-down Christmas Elf.

My first "U" project was Upside-down Santa gift card holders HERE.

Today I have an Upside Christmas Elf card

... I don't know if he's helping Santa or trying out for the Naughty List.

No colouring by me today ... instead I have used a cut file to make my card filled with elfish fun.  ... I let my Silhouette Cameo do all (most) of the work with a purchased cut file.  I enlarged the panel for a 5" x 7" card (and made a card white base because I ran out of my pre-scored ones).  Once cut, all I had to do was gather my glue, foam squares and tweezers (some of the pieces are small and fiddly) and assemble the pieces.  I added Stardust Stickles to the falling snow in the background and rhinestones to the hat and shoes ... I ran out of yellow rhinestones, so I used my rich yellow alcohol marker to create some that were perfect for the job.
