I took a slight detour with the sketch by downsizing one of the layers and turning it into a tag. But I hope you can still see the sketch :)
I used some new toys from MFT Stamps - the super-cute Santa's Elves set and the fabulous Candy Stripes Background stamp. I stamped the solid stripes in Hot Lips ink then the thin strips in Jellybean ink. Then I layered a sheet of vellum over the top to tone down the colors.
My little elf was colored with Copics and die-cut before being popped up with foam tape onto a die-cut tag. The sentiment comes from Jingle All The Way.
Thanks for visiting. The rest of the design team show how truly versatile this sketch is so I hope you'll give it a go.
