fun, fun limited, Jeanne! Thanks so much for getting me to think outside the box! I just had to go with my cowboy/piggy combo...thinking about that jolly old St Nick and his reindeers!
I use the new pink pirouette as my card base. The pig and rider are stamped in TH di walnut stain and embossed in clear. I inked unmounted conifers with various shades of TH di pine needles/peeling paint/shabby shutter and stamped randomly on the right side of the paper, trying to give it the appearance of a hill. The three paper cutouts are from K & Co glitter Christmas paper pack (last year). These are very cool double sided pages. I stamped the corner Lone Star off the paper and embossed with Translucent Gold. All are stapled with colored staples. I used that metal in lieu of ribbon. I do hope that is limited enough!
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.
