 TOYMAKER ELF by Melanie Holtz

1. Create a 6"x6" card base. (I cut all my layers at 1/8" increments)
2. Cut out all patterned paper layers and cardstock mats, adhere together and add stitching if desired.
4. Before adhering the horizontal panels, attach a flat length of ribbon.
3. Adhere layers together and attach to card base. 
4. Stamp image on paper of choice (I used Neenah) with Memento Ink and colour with Copic markers. (See colour list )
5. Mask image and sponge in background while the paper is still in your die by applying Walnut Stain Distress Ink. (I used make up sponges.)
6. Create a decorative frame for your image by cutting long strips of cardstock with a border punch. (I used a Martha Stewart punch.) You may need to cut several strips depending on the size of your oval. Snip your border with little "V" shaped notches and attach it around the perimeter of your image panel using a strong double sided tape. (I used Scor Tape) The little notches should allow you to manipulate your paper to fit around the curves of the oval. Some border punches may work better than others, so feel free to experiment! :)
7. Stamp or print out a sentiment (mine was computer generated) and cut it out with circle Spellbinders. Use Spellbinders Lacey Circles for matting.
8. Add a bow to your sentiment. I used a Bow Easy to tie mine.
9. Add some decorative pearls if desired.
