Holiday Card Series 2018 - Rainbow Elves

Hello there,

I'm back with a new holiday card featuring the new Holiday Helpers stamp set + coordinating dies by Lawn Fawn. I just adore these little characters, they're so cute! I have other ideas to use this set so stay tuned ^^

I first started by stamping my images on Neenah solar white cardstock. Next I colored them using alcohol markers in rainbow tones. And then I cut them using the coordinating dies.

I also chose coordinating rainbow papers from various collections. I stamped the box image on each pattern paper using coordinating inks and once again cut everything using the coordinating dies.

Next I created a simple but colorful background, using distress inks and water, again in rainbow colors. I painted three layers of each to get bright colors. Next I sprayed water on top of the distress panel, and also made coordinating drops on each section of color.

I attached each holiday helper into his/her coordinating box, and then attached everything using foam adhesive squares. I gold heat embossed my sentiment on white cardstock and attached below the boxes. To add more interest to the background I glued some coordinating enamel dots and to finish the card I attached my panel to a white card base.
