Congrats to Jeanne, the newest Featured Stamper! What a beautiful gallery! After much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I didn't have a cute Halloween girl, so I used a cute Christmas girl. I kept the circle bg & most of the layout, but I used different images, different colors & since there isn't a die for this cutie, I did a complicated into the window for her.
Sigh..I'm not gonna lie, it took me quite a while to color this lovely, then it took me longer to figure out how I was going to handle her, since she's a bit bigger than I thought when I ordered her. The card started out to be square, but I just felt uneasy w/ it, so I cut it down to fit A2 & added just a touch of snowflake embossing on the lower corners.
Congrats again, Jeanne! Closeups, the Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is so sweet and I use that way in the bestest way! The Christmas girl is precious. I especially love her holly 'wings' and the church snow globe. Fab case of todays FS.

Every bit of your coloring time on this sweet image was worth it ~ it is masterfully done! Such a beautiful Christmas card.
I can relate to being surprised by an image arriving and being larger than you expected. I ordered Penny Black "Rendezvous" a couple of months ago and it was huge compared to what I was expecting (guess I should have looked more carefully at the specs when ordering!). That said, it's a beautiful stamp image, as is this one you've used, and I am making it work!
