Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #65 - Fun with Dies

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

yay!

I am always happy to stretch my card-making skills with this challenge!! I love love love seeing and making cards with dies, especially interactive cards - but sometimes I get intimidated, so this is the perfect excuse to make them!

awwww...I love how this came out! those elves from Holiday Helpers are just soooo adorable and I love making scenes with them!
I decided to use the Shadow Box Card Die Set to set the scene!! 

once the bases for the shadow box card were cut out, I used Distress Inks in Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold and two pieces of computer paper to create the stripes! I really *LOVE* the candy cane feel of this christmas card!

all of the images were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! then once they were dry, I fussy cut them out!
I also die cut out a few extra hills/snow banks to add along the outside of the scene!

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!
