Christmas Card Challenge Week #33

I saw this really cute card on the Greeting Farm blog the other day...and I used it as inspiration for my card this week. I really liked how she did the strips of paper on her card, so your challenge is to use strips of paper. This snow Miss Anya is my favorite I think...well, besides Geisha Anya.

I pop-dotted Anya's head and her hand warmer. I can't decide if I like the depth or if it makes her look like a turtle, lol. And while it's so pale, her jacket is really, really light pink.

Paper: My Minds Eye
Stamps: The Greeting Farm, Sentiment is Amuse
Snowflake Punch, PTI Buttons, Copics, Nestabilities, and Crystal Stickles

Everyone have a great Sunday. Brent and I plan on eating breakfast with my family and spend some time with the bitty siblings. We'll also see the new couple one last time before heading home!

What a great idea with the paper strips. Your card is fabulous. Love the pale pink coat.

Is that one of the new copic colors? I unfortunately have not had a chance to pick mine up at the LSS yet. They are in, so hopefully this week.
