Greeting Card Girl

The little girl from the Greeting Card Kids set is all decked out for cold weather in today's card. And since the weather here is just a bit nippy - in North Carolina, if you have to wear a light jacket - that qualifies for cold weather!  I wore my jacket zipped up when out for a walk in the park with our puppy Josie today, and it felt so good! The frost this morning and cool weather really does help me get in a Christmas-y mood.

Isn't she cute all decked out in her houndstooth jacket and hat?

A cute card begins with a cute sketch, and Taylor over at Taylored Expressions had this adorable sketch this week. I just had to give it a try and I was ready for a few layers!

I did a bit of paper piecing which means that I stamped the image first on watercolor paper - and then stamped it again on designer paper. I cut the coat and hat out of the designer paper, and glued them on top of the first image.

I used an Aqua Painter and inks from the the pads to color in the details. The panel behind the main image was stamped with the Christmas Collage set from the Holiday Mini, and sponged at the edges. It's still not too late to order from the Holiday mini. I love the Christmas Collage stamp for making my own detailed backgrounds and it is so versatile.

I hope to have new photos of Josie soon!  She is growing into a sweet girl herself. Can you imagine she'll be 7 months old next week? 

I've loved sharing with you today and I hope you are glad you stopped by. Thanks for taking time to visit and say hello!
