Elves at Work

 It is midway inspiration time at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist for the May Challenge is Elves.

I have used a digital paper by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles (May 2024 paper for 12 Months of Christmas).  The image/sentiment is by Scribbles Designs and has been die-cut using a stitched edge rectangle die.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  To continue the elf theme, I also added some elf patterned ribbon and an elf dimensional sticker (along with a gift and star from the same sheet)

Happy Spring

 The May challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is under way.  The themes for this month are Spring and/or Animals.

When I think of spring I think of daffodils bearing the first buds of the season.  For me, Spring is still a number of months away but it is nice to create a spring card when the cooler winter temperatures are just starting to hit.

I have used a digital paper from Pixel Scrapper.  The image is from The Stamping Boutique and the sentiment is from Anji's Antics.  Colouring is with copic markers and inking with Distress Ink.  I also added a spring themed ribbon and some gems.
