I colored Gina Christmas Elf with Copics and cut her out using my Silhouette Cameo. I can't tell you how happy I am to have that machine! I use it all the time and it has made cutting out my digital stamps so much easier. From fussy cutting to the out of the box technique...I am in heaven!
As I was digging through my scrap stash, I saw this paper and knew it was perfect for this card. I am not a fan of the traditional red and green for Christmas, but I do love red and aqua! The gingerbread man brads I bought on clearance were the perfect embellishment to go with this paper.
The curlicue was made from a piece of craft wire that I had left over from another project. It is a pretty heavy gauge and was a little tough to twist, but I got there in the end! The die was cut from a piece of red glitter card stock. Unfortunately, I am still finding red glitter in places I shouldn't have glitter! Ah well...guess I am looking super festive. =)
