    Okay.....and a sweet little surprise for last.
    When we decorate for Christmas... we pile popcorn in a bowl..
    When I saw this sweet little Shelf Elf set
     I thought a sweet one 
    would look so cute on a little treat bag!
      

    I used distress inks on the elf and over distress 
    sponged leaves and berries.
    Fussy cut for extra fun and added some 
    sweet embellishments



    Over the top of my photos I added 
    a digital overlay and digital 
    sentiment stripwith cork in the background


    I adore this elf..I hope you will want 
    to play with them too!

    Love, love, love the watercoloring you did on both of your cards. It just lends a fun, artsy feel to both of these cards.
