Santa's Helper Edwin

Here's another Christmas card I made for the Crafty Ribbons Christmas Challenge (see previous posts).

On this one, I used Santa's Helper Edwin...isn't he the cutest thing in the world! I colored him with Copics, chalks, and a red sharpie. I'm still building up my Copic collection and realize I don't have any reds. :( So I made do with what I had on hand and that ended up being a Sharpie. :)

I added CTMH Liquid Glass to his buttons, belt, and boots for some shine (kinda hard to tell in the photos). The sentiment was actually part of a piece of dp in the Wonderful Winter glittered paper pack from My Mind's Eye. I like the shape of my Nestabilities Labels 1, but it was too big to frame the sentiment so I used it as a template and traced around it until I got the shape I needed. Then I did the same for the green frame and cut out the middle with my craft knife. I wanted it to look like a frame so I raised it up with popdots. I glued part of Edwin to the top and put popdots behind the rest of him to make him level with the green frame.

All of the dp is from the same paper pack, MME Wonderful Winter. The Merry Christmas ribbon came from Crafty Ribbons. I love the olive green color on the ribbon and the little white snowflakes which just happen to match my dp perfectly!

The felt reindeer charm came from my stash. I punched out various sizes of snowflakes with my MS punches (the smaller ones came from a border punch) and added stickles. The large snowflake is raised up on popdots. Below is a side view so you can see the dimension better.

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments on my cards and projects! I really appreciate all the love! I admire and am inspired by so many of you so it's really a humbling experience to see the comments you have left. Stayed tuned because I have one more card to share tomorrow.

Hugs and much love to you!
