Family is the greatest gift!

Here's a stamp that I used from SOG ( Gifty Gwen) and I actually used her for a Christmas card...  Colored her with copics and paper pieced her outfit, added liquid pearls to the spellbinder ovals, & label one, stickles,  poinsettia flowers and gingham ribbon from Wild Orchid, and papers from scrap.

Entering this card in:  Some Odd Girl Stamp Sketch Challenge

Thanks for taking a peek!
Hugs to all of you~

    Such a festive holiday card, especially with all the added embellies! Really like how you used the liquid pearls to accent your stamped image...is it hard to use? Bought me some recently, but sigh...it's still sitting in the bag! Love how you paper pieced her dress...gotta try this one day soon too.
