General steps below, I can post up more detailed steps/dimensions later if anyone is interested.
- Mask the moon & tree line then brayer skyline - I went to Michelle Zindorf's brayering classes - so awesome and I wanted to incorporate it some how!!
- Stamped the trees, added snow with white gel pen
- Spray the shimmer smooch in the color catcher
- Stamped the girl in the very bottom left corner - love clear mount!!
- Colored the girl and used a tiny paint brush to apply shimmer paint to trim - let dry!!
- Cut into quarters
- Punched holes for her ribbon scarf and looped it through
- Stamp greeting on the bottom right corner piece (again love clear mount, I cut my greeting in half and mounted them on the same block in the format I needed)
- Added folded ribbon to back of the bottom right corner piece
- Mounted on to Early Espresso layer using dimensionals
- Embossed Early Espresso strip, punch, cut to size, score, mount on card layer
- Mounted to Marina Mist
- Voila! :)
To make it easier for myself, I had drawn up some guides on my Grid Paper.

1) This is most of it, shows my top part indicates my marking spots and also where I did so much brayering for the swap that it ultimately ripped through. The bottom part is where I stamped, and the right had my cutting notes. |

| 2) Close up of the brayer / masking section. |
 | |||
| 3) My stamping section where I had my cut lines marked so I could get the tree into a bit of the bottom left panel but leave enough room for the girl's head. |

| 4) This shows where I even draw lines for where my white CS and clear block would go. |
I hope you enjoyed this post and my first (of hopefully many) creation in quite awhile. I am considering making more of these for the Baltimore Regional swap - if you are going and would be interested, let me know.
