Fun challenge! Paper piecing is a great way to use up some scraps, so I also took it up a notch by using a whole bunch of little scrap strips to make the panel on the left by attaching them to sticker paper.
After stamping the tree image on white, I also stamped it a few times on some dp scraps and paper pieced them onto the base image. I added just a little color w/ Copics and die cut it. One of the Merrys was stamped on a scrap of white & I used a smaller Labels 17 to cut the right side of it.
Thank so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
