Mo's Digital Pencil - "Any Holiday or Celebration"

With Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, the challenge at

Mo's Digital Pencil

this week is "Any Holiday or Celebration".  

Sadly this is my last week as Guest Designer but I am oh so grateful to have had the opportunity to showcase my creations alongside such a fabulous and talented team.
With so few Christmas cards in the bag and so many needed, I opted for the Christmas holidays and used "Little Elf Kin" (whom you can find HERE) and came up with this...

I have seen a couple of these break-front cards where the right panel is cut off and then joined back to the left side with flowers or snowflakes mounted on top.  I opted to use baubles but I actually cut out the spaces between my baubles in the card blank so the right panel is still attached and only the paper is mounted separately. 
I used Crate Paper's "Snow Day" collection for the background left and right.  The lilac panel and pointy bauble is Basic Grey and I'm pretty sure that the round baubles are Basic Grey too but my craft croft looks like a bomb went off in it and I can't be sure about the round baubles.  I cut them all with my Cricut machine using the "Joys of the Season" cartridge.

Obviously I paper pieced the one under Little Elf Kin and I added silver "hangy bits" (the technical term!) to all of the baubles. This is a picture of the inside of my card. It isn't decorated and it isn't going to be! But it shows that the negative space around the baubles is cut out. 
My little cutie is coloured in Copics.  I added some pearls to the boots because I didn't have jingle bells small enough and there are pearl berries in the holly on the hat.  All my baubles are spritzed with a shimmer mist and the fur has been stickled.  A little bit of baker's twine, a Papermania sentiment and one day later I was really pleased with the finished product.  

I have two other Little Elves from the set of four Finn, Mim, Pipa and this sweet Kin and if I can find the time and if I can clear some space from my craft desk!!! you might see some more of this type of card from me but it did take me a very long time!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:
ODBD - "at least three different shapes"
Simon Says - "anything goes"
Deep Ocean - "SWEET"  (there are images of sweets on my DP in addition to Mo's little elf being incredibly sweet!)
Inky Impressions - "anything goes"

Thank you so much for having me at Mo's Digital Pencil!
