Of course, I had to make a second card because I wanted to use my Copics (I love my Copics!). So I decided upon this little elf. It was a challenge to color him all one color but give him some variety. I realized too late that I should have made some patterns on his clothes – oh, well, next time!
I originally had cut the “joy” out of brushed silver card stock and adhered it to the card. Something was lacking; it didn’t seem “joyful” enough – so I cut it out of glitter paper and glued it on top of the other die cut. I actually think this worked better and gives the die cut a bit of dimension as well as strength since part of it is floating in mid-air. (The tag is popped off the card using dimensional dots.) Lastly, I added the sequins for sparkle.
