Stampin' Up! Elfie Post Card Christmas Card

This is one of the two Elfie Christmas cards made in my Elfie Christmas card class last month. How cute are the cheeky little elves? 
I used a free postcard I found online for my background and stamped and coloured the elves with Stampin' Blends. The sentiments are from the Christmas gleaming stamp set and the stamparatus made placement and re-inking a breeze. (I stamped both sentiments in call me clover before deciding to stamp Merry Christmas in red and pop it up with dimensionals.)
I used the now retired postage stamp punch for create a faux postage stamp featuring the no peaking elf stamp. Doesn't it create the sweetest little postage stamp?

Stampin' Up! Joseph's Coat ATC

Have you ever had a go at making ATC's (Artist Trading Cards?) I love making them, the smaller sizes and the challenge it provides me, not to mention, how they can easily be placed onto a card if you happen to make a few spare, like I try to do when I make them for our team swap (if I am not making them last minute!) The only problem with ATC's is photographing them for my blog! I find them much harder to photograph because they don't stand up like a card does and I have a bunch of them to share with you.

Our theme for May was Joesph's Coat and I love the colours I used (I did mention I am behind in sharing my ATC's!)
Although, when I am stumped for colours, I turn to my color coach Stampin' Up! provided and use it as my starting point. For my ATC's I obviously went with coastal cabana, melon mambo and gorgeous grape. I have used these colours before on another card as well. I seem to pick a trio of colours from a color coach and use it a few times!  
I made my Joseph's Coat pieces with a 1 1/2" circle and used the coastal cabana, melon mambo and gorgeous grape inks with night of navy ink to highlight to embossed sections. A basic rhinestone and silver glimmer cardstock add in a touch of bling. I also stamped the dotty stamp from birthday backgrounds on the coastal cabana cardstock in coastal cabana ink for a tone on tone look so the cardstock wasn't just plain looking but I could still keep the focus my Joseph's Coat piece.
