Elf News

I had an evening with a difference, we were out listening to the stars in our local park!  I think the jist of it is the size, speed and brightness of the stars passing by the North Star were demonstrated as a sound and when you stood in the middle of a circle of speakers the effect was really spooky!  It really made you think about all that's going on in the universe that we really are never aware of.  Oh, and we saw the Space Station when we were there, so that was great too!
LOL, I've just noticed the amount of exclamation marks I've used!! 

Anyay this card uses more of my new goodies ... the spellbinders banner die.  I've fancied these for ages, and the bargain over at Bunny Zoe's 70% sale was too good to resist.
I've also used my little elf from Eat Cake Graphics - Christmas is Coming (elf with newspaper)
Coloured with watercolour pencils and I went over his gloves + scarf with my clear glitter pen, and then clear gloss + glitter to his hat.  I also chalked behind my image in blue, but it hasn't shown up very well in my photo.  Paper Smooches snowflake dies.

Adorable card! Your little elf is just too cute. Listening to the stars sounds like a truly interesting experience. I had never heard of doing anything like that, but I'd love to give it a go.

This is so sweet! It's very different from the Muse card, but the influence is still evident. Cute!

Love the clean look of this fun card. Interested, too in listening to the stars - sounds like quite a surreal experience. Maybe I should suggest this to someone here as we live in one of the increasingly rare total "dark sky" areas. Thank you for playing at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'. Tracey x
