Making Grimble Grumble Bright.

This is Grimble Grumble from Dr Digis House of Stamps. 
Officially he is a Gnome but I decided to use him as a Christmas Elf and make Grimble Grumble a Bright and Merry chap whether he likes it or not!!  I think he is rather pleased with his sparkly beard! 

I used two different patterns of Doodlebug papers from the Frosty Friends collection. I cut this at an angle which is a great way to use up some scraps. I also cut a circle using my Friskars cutter and mounted on to this another smaller circle cut from a plain piece from the same Doodlebug collection.
I added the Wooden "Merry & Bright" which is from Hobbycraft and scattered some gems around on the card for a bit of bling.  I used some Star dust stickles on his beard and trim on his hat and I also used a gold pen on his buckle and the bell on his hat.

I used these pro / flexmarkers -
Skin - Coral, Soft peach, Blush, Antique White - I added some baby pink on his nose to make it rosey
Beard - Warm Greys
Boots - Ocean Teal, Turqouise, Marine & Emerald
Shirt - Imperial Purple & Red Violet.
Pants & hat - Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal red.
Jacket & eyes - Powder blue & Bluebell.
Belt and soles - Cool grey 2 - 5.
