The challenge at Scrap the Girls was to draw inspiration from one of these dresses. The one on the very bottom right caught my eye, and I drew inspiration from the gathered trees, so I decided to recreate that on my page. I also chose a photo of my friend's daughter all dressed up for a show in a pretty dress.
Here are some details. The colors in the photo were very warm, so I looked for papers with warm tones in my stash and found a bunch of older papers by Making Memories, Cosmo Cricket, and My Mind's Eye that did the trick. I backed the trees and fussy cut some of the poinsettias from one of the papers to add to some of the trees. I found some glittery accents to echo the gold glitter chipboard letters in the title.
The "Christmas" word in the title is from another Paper Issues free cut file called Pines & Needles. I added a little more shine with Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine and Liquitex gold ink, as well as some rhinestones on that celebrate tag.
