Hoping that you'll bloom again

Hello everyone, 

For today's AALL & Create project I made a journal page using one of Abs' Christmas stamps but I used it in a non-Christmas way. 

Here's how:

I stamped and coloured the elf. I didn't stamp the bell as I didn't want to use that. 

Stamped one of Tracy's flowers as something for the elf to sit on. I coloured it with Copic Markers as I did the elf. 

I made a background with different shades of yellow acrylic paint, a gelli plate and a stencil.

Stamped the background randomly. 

Stamped the sentiment.

I coloured the little circles with a marker and added shadow with a coloured pencil. I then added some white at the top to make them more dimensional. I also added some lines around the page to frame it. Lastly I added some shading under the sentiment words. 

 I have used the following products:

Stencil #136 - Bug Hotel by Autour de Mwa
