This is for Rubbernecker's Stampin Sisterhood's first challenge...it's a Christmas inspiration challenge. Check out the inspiration photo on the Rubbernecker Blog. This is also for the CCEE challenge to use 2 punches or diecuts.
I found my inspiration in the colors and the tree theme...I guess poinsettias go along with trees and Christmas, too!! The paper and the bingo card are all from Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas dp...the poinsettia and leaves were made from Spellbinder's dies. The Rubbernecker Trees with Snow set #52-0206 were stamped with Always Artichoke three times on the dp, watercolored with Old Olive, cutout and the layers were popped up with foam dots. The stars and trunks were colored with copics and sewing was done around the background layer. Seam binding, gold cording, and a gold button finish it off.

Oh, Joan. What awesomeness! I love it all, the colors, the cutout trees and flowers, the button, the stitching, the distressing. This is just GORGEOUS!!!! Oh, I think I forgot your wonderful seam binding. You do so well with that.
