I really cannot wait until the humble pie images arrive.....until then i am playing with my ccd holiday kit.I took a big chance on this card because I used alot of different techniques i don't normally use.My kids weren't well today and now i can feel a headache coming on.

The bench,Emma,tree,and sentiment are all CC Designs and the dog (a favorite) is High Hopes.
So i stamped up the trees on 140Lb wcolor paper and then added the bench ,dog,and Emma later.I watercolored the images using OMS,and blending stumps as well black staz-on ink.

I pulled out my paper piercing mat which i called someone to see if i could link her up this is from Stampin UP and my fiskars blade and cut out the long slats in the bench and the small part in between her boots.

Then I glued the bench down using my trusty GlueGlider Pro and I 3d'd Emma holding hot chocolate mug and I 3d'd the dog.I used my nestabillity with the best ever embossing mat from Scribbles & Scraps (in sarnia) for the sentiment.The papers are a variety....140Lb wc paper,We R Memory Keepers patterned paper as well as "tis the season patterned paper" by BoBunny, and the rest is by Bazill.The flowers are Prima and only for $3.45...the brads are Basic Grey and the rhinestones are by Kaiser.I also added stickles as an accent as well I added glossy accents to the nose and collar on the dog .I will have to find a SU Demonstrator link and get back to you tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed this as much as i did putting this together.
