'Appy 'n' 'Elfy!

I had my Personal Impressions Christmas elf stamps out again, I always enjoy colouring these cheerful chaps.
I used Promarkers for colouring again, this time to match these lovely Papermania Tulip papers that I got in the Hobby Craft sale for the bargain price of £2.  They have a very nice linen texture and lots of them could be used all year round, I teamed them with some kraft.  The sentiment came from the same stamp set as the image.  I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page set on the red mat to give it a holly edging.
To finish off I added my usual ribbon and bow, some stars made with Xcut dies and a large handful of clear gems in three sizes.
 I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Eclectic Ellapu - It's In The Stars
Crafty Hazelnut - #121 - Red and Green Must Be Seen
Speedy and Friends - #156 - Punched Border
Jellypark - Make Us Laugh and Smile
ABC Christmas - H is for Holiday Helpers
Sweet Stampin' Christmas - #5 - Krafty Christmas
Christmas Challenges - #69 - Sketch
Die Cuttin' Divas - #111 - Use a Star
 Holly Jolly - Humourous

    Wendy - you posted this on the Holly Jolly site a few weeks ago and I was wondering where I could get the stamp. When I search for it I only come back to your site. Thank you for any help you can give me.
