This image, from Delicious Doodles, has been one of my favorites for a few Christmases now and I'm using it again this year. I think I've colored her in greens each year so maybe next year I should think about using reds. :-D
I colored her with ProMarkers, then cut a green oval with a die from Spellbinders. I hand cut the image and mounted it onto the oval. I backed that oval with another die cut shape (also Spellbinders) which had been cut from white CS. It gave a little pop since the image piece tended to fade into that lovely Christmas dp.
The branch and pine cone were cut with a Memory Box die, and I added white Nuvo Crystal Drops to it. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, then grabbed one of my hand-sewn, signature bows and added it below the pine cone. The pine cone and the bow take the place of the stars in the sketch.

It's been a busy morning but I'm finally finished with my chores and can now head to the craft room to play. I'll see you tomorrow with a GDT project I hope you'll love. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
