Christmas Couple

It's the dog days of July and it's beyond hot, so  I am looking for some cool Yule to make me think of more temperature-friendly climes and more body-friendly attire.  Yup, I said it!  I want my jeans back.  No they are not "mom jeans" but they at least hid a multitude of over-40-related side effects.

At the fabulous and inspiring Jingle Belles Challenge, they are asking for cards that are Green OR Red!  I really enjoy this challenge and its fun prompts.  They really help me get ahead on my holiday cards!  If you haven't been over there, do check them out!

I opted for the Green as, like I said, I was looking for something cool and I just can't deal with reds when it's over 90F.

I stamped the cuddling couple from Snow Hugs and paper pieced them with a variety of soft green designer papers, mostly ginghams because that was the mood I was in.  I used a little leftover Green Ruche (from Paper Temptress) for the man's cuffs and brim of his hat.  I love it's great texture.

Here's the final card:

I am also entering this card into the following awesome challenges:
