Hi all,
Well now you know why I don't watercolor LOL!!
This is my elf portrait, rrr, umm, I mean my "selfie" It is the closest I could find to hanging from the chandeliers. LOL!! Yes, I am a little nutso the last week or so before Christmas but I totally adore Christmas and wish it lasted longer!!! If I did 3 cards a day, 7 days a week, it would take at least 4 months to use all my Christmas stamps and dies! Yes, I do have a severe Christmas addiction!!
So, here it is, whenever you see this stamp you can think...that's my friend Robin! Heehee!
I used Inktense pencils and a water brush to color, and I splattered Inktense with a very wet regular brush, splatter white acrylic paint with a toothbrush and used Stickles on the holly berries, Smooch Top Coat on the silver ornament top. There are vellum snowflakes and white glitter paper snowflakes.
Well, for the Inspiration challenge I choose this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/109986415873390173/
Because I still want to do Christmas!!
Thanks for looking!

You couldn't have picked a better image for a selfie. I have a feeling you were a sweet mischief maker - yes? Wonderful coloring, beautiful light on this card, it brings a huge smile this afternoon. Merry Christmas my friend. You are truly a sparkle elf and a treasure!

This is super adorable. I love Christmas too. When I started collecting stamps I hoarded Christmas stamps and even now I do not feel like I have enough Christmas stamps. Thanks for sharing your selfie!

You have the prettiest and vast collections of bg framing die cuts, Robin....and use them to best advantage. Beautiful coloring as always with your distinctive palette.

Just love those Penny Black stamps. I am hoping that Santa will bring me those Inktense pencils for Christmas. The image is so beautifully coloured. Keep swinging from the chandeliers.
