I adore the traditional red and green palette, always reminds me of Christmas in my home town. My Mom was a red a green gal and the whole house would be done up with a different theme in every room. I believe one of the bedrooms was all elves! Such a genius idea about dressing up the old brads, really adds a festive sparkle to this amazing holiday card!!<br /><br />I do hope you are having a wonderful summer. I was so glad to hear that you have seen improvements with your health. I hope the weather has been better for you and the fires and stopped. We have had amazing weather this year and I have been taking advantage of every minute of it!<br /><br />Still working on the patio redesign. I'm installing planters and shelves and moving things around, all in hopes of being able to hide my bird and squirrel food dishes from the complaining neighbours. I feel bad for the poor squirrels, it's like a scavenger hunt every time they come because the dishes are in a new spot. lol. Take care my friend, sending hugs from way up North! :)Pamelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061174774558907509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-63782062365601746092017-07-17T23:39:31.244-05:002017-07-17T23:39:31.244-05:00Cute little image...lovely card

I do tend to color my stamp and then go searching for what will go with it but every now and then when I have a stamp staring at me and I am just not sure what I want to do I remember to go looking for paper and that gets me started on the coloring. I love your tip on the embossing powder to jazz up the brads, I really need to start a tips book to help me remember all these good ideas!!<br />Have a wonderful week!Conniecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09266327228870948083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-48139316488551725302017-07-16T17:28:33.643-05:002017-07-16T17:28:33.643-05:00Your elf peeker is adorable.

As for coloring and paper choices, I actually use both techniques. When i feel organized and have lots of time I pick papers first, then I color. But I'm not always in mood for coloring, so when I am I color up extra images to be used later. Then I need to hunt for papers that match. It's easier to color second, but I'm quite fond of hunting and digging through my stash of papers to find suitable ones. I really like the sentiment you've used with the image here and the traditional color scheme.
