I got a little ahead of myself with a Christmas card this week, but couldn't resist the adorable winter images by Gurlee Girl. I stamped her three times using a mask to overlap. I eliminated a few features, like long hair or hat pompom, then uniquely watercolored each one so they appeared different.
I used the Mistletoe and Pear Collection by Basic Grey for all of my DP and green K & Co. "remake" cardstock (made from 100% post-consumer waste and printed w/soy ink). The buttons were a mixture of purchases at Wal-mart last Christmas (Merry & Bright) and some by Foofala. The evergreens are my Martha Stewart punch coated with Stickles and then for some jingle I added a couple of bells and ribbon. As usual it's all stitched together, this time with red & green thread :)
