No House Elves (like Dobby) but lots of Christmas elves at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog

The challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil this week is for "elves, fairies, snowmen or Santa".  Mo has lots of lovely fairy images, a smattering of fabulous Santas and some simply adorable elves to choose from.  I chose this one called Little Elf Mim that I found here and made this card which also fits the following challenges:
Hanna and Friends "red and another colour" I chose green
Polka Doodles - "Italian Christmas; ie, red, white and green"
Deep Ocean - "C as (is for)... Christmas"
Stamptacular - "anything Christmas"
Simon Says - "anything goes"
My DP is K&Co.  The "MERRY" was cut using a PTI die borrowed from the lovely Alex who also supplied the bakers twine on a little ribbon gift for me (thank you, Alex) and I cut and embossed a bauble top for my elf using my Cricut.  The stamped sentiment is by Stampin Up as is the punch I used to cut it out and the holly is the negative space from a corner punch.   I used Copics to colour Mim.  Her bauble has been glazed and it's top is overlayed with Spica.  A little Fabric applique was used for the fur trim on Mim's clothes and she has gems for bells on her shoes.

All of Mo's elves are so cute but I am also a big Dobby fan!   I would certainly have been an advocate for S.P.E.W (Hermione Granger's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) in the Harry Potter books/films.  What a shame I didn't get to meet her.  Hubby and I were, however, lucky enough to meet Ron Weasley, Professor Filius Flitwick, Argus Filch (without Mrs Norris, sadly) and Scabior (the new baddie in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).  Warwick Davis was particularly charming and hubby and I were delighted that he, along with Rupert Grint and David Bradley agreed to photographs in the airport lounge at Orlando International.   They were all on our plane home too and we enjoyed a drink with the delightful and very handsome Nick Moran (Scabior) at the bar on the plane afterwards.  Too cool, eh?


Before I go...I know I have been very neglectful in my blogging duties recently and I really do apologise.  To be honest, I have been feeling very under the weather in the last month.  It wasn't so bad in Florida but since I have been home, it's been much worse.  It has taken me a week to make my card!  I'm off to the docs tomorrow for some blood test results and I'm hoping for an easy fix!   I do hope to catch up with you all soon though.  Thank you for stopping by.
