TGIF Challenges ! An Elfie Sketch

TGIF!!! I can't believe it is already Friday! Holiday festivities are in full swing and it seems as though we have something every weekend leading into Christmas. Tomorrow I have a fun Christmas Card class at Lala's Bakery and Espresso Bar and then we are off to build gingerbread houses at our friends in our Christmas Pajamas!

TGIF Challenges has fun sketch for you to play along with this week, Although the sketch itself is a square card, some of us went a little rogue!

I just can't get enough of this Elfie! Sadly the Festive Phrases stamp set will retire at the end of the month! I colored up this cutie again with the Stampin' Blends markers. The largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits was perfectly layered onto a Red Glimmer Paper Scalloped Oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits. The Cherry Cobbler and White stripe from the Christmas Around the World DSP was a simple way to interpret the stripes of the sketch! I tied a nice little bow with the ribbon and accented with some Glitter Enamel dots. My Pool Party matter onto my Old Olive card base was just the right touch! 

TGIF 129 Sketch Challenge Feeling Elf like

TGIF!!! I know that we are all glad that it is Friday. TGIF Challenges is back this week with a fun sketch! Can you tell I am addicted to the markers yet? Stampin' Blends... AMAZING!

We all know that a sketch is totally up to how you visualize it... I knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as I messed with this cute little elf guy from the Festive Phrases stamp set in the Holiday Catalog with my Stampin' Blends markers and who doesn't like an elf!?

I did a nice layout of the Christmas Around The Worlds DSP, this is part of the Buy 3 get 1 free DSP sale. A nice border of Wood Textures DSP seemed to be the perfect contrast for this card. This was matted onto Smoky Slate with a nice Pool Party base. I die cut my colored image with a Stitched Oval and layered it onto a nice Gold Foil scalloped oval from the Layering Oval Framelits. Before adhering this I added a nice doubled linen thread bow and some wrinkled up Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon to coordinate with the sketch. A few... well, okay 5 Glitter Enamel dots and this cutie patootie was done!

Phew! I can't wait to see what you all ink up for this weeks challenge! Have a great weekend!
