Did you notice the wonky brick work....I could claim that it was deliberate and due to subsidence but I was rushing and tried to stamp without putting the cling on a block!!
I have used the following products to make this card 'Rose Garden' 14-003 Mix and Match, 'Winter Illumination' 40-174, 'Sparkles and Spots' 4276K, 'Brick Wall' 40-137 and 'Winter Whites and Greens' 30-057 and Tim Holtz Distress inks Wild Honey, Pumice Stone and Fired Brick. Memento inks Tuxedo Black and London Fog, Ivy Green Liquid Pearls, Glossy Accents, Diamond Stickles, Copic Markers and Spellbinders Dies.
The images were stamped with memento ink the girl first then she was masked and the lamp post stamped. I then drew in the pavement and added distress ink. The image was then coloured with copic markers and the edges blended with distress inks. The brick wall was then randomly stamped with wild honey ink and gloss accents added to her boots and the glass in the lamp. Liquid pearls was added to the wreath to add a bit of dimension and stickles to the star bits. To get the Edgeability die cut to curve round the oval I snipped into the paper to allow it to bend.

Fantastic work - love the card. What a great image to play with - you've made the gal a whimsical creative of fun and winter.
I love the way that you mask your stamps and add them to each other. Very clever way to add a straight cut-out edging. Well done.
Looks just like our place at the end of every summer...send this one to me, I like it wonkey ;)
Cathy the way you combined all these stamps creates a beautiful holiday shopping scene!
The pavement you've drawn looks brilliant & the brickwork is only noticeable when it's pointed out. Theres so much of interest in this & I love the curving of the border & how it really pops against the red & orange of the Wild Honey.
