She's back again! This time she's looking to buy a Christmas Tree, although she doesn't look particularly interested in any of them. Must be all that dazzling snow putting her off.
I stamped the CityGirl image onto white card, and again onto plaid patterned paper. I cut out the coat and paper-pieced it onto the image, and fussy cut. I drew some shoes on her and coloured them with Distress Inks.
I inked up the trees with Distress Inks, spritzed and stamped, then cut a strip of matching plaid to ground the image and added the sentiment from the Holiday Artsy set.
I'm entering this into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Winter Inspiration
AAA Cards - Plaid Christmas
and Papertake Weekly - Last Christmas Card
