Inching Towards Christmas

Trying to build my Chrismas stash again and, since CAS Mix-up is looking for inchies (remember them), this is what came out of my fingers. Stamped each inchie with Mama Elephant snowpeople. Watercolored them with Nuvo aquamarkers and after they were dry, used Tombow markers to add red to the sides of each tiny panel. Made a tag and smooshed many layers of aqua colored inks, then spattered with the same colors. After that was dry, spattered white paint over it for "snow". Attached the inchies to the tag to form a grid. Wonkily attached the tag to a cardbase and laced the twine through two holes made by my pokey tool so I could tie a bow. Stamped a tiny Simon Says sentiment.
Since I was wise enough to use red and aqua, I can add this to the Christmas Kickstart challenge, as well.
