Same Materials Swap - from Lee

Today's card is from a "same materials" kit sent to me by Lee.  Often it takes a bit of stewing to figure out what I want to do with something, but as soon as I saw the buttons, I knew I wanted to use a couple of stamps sets I had to make this card (The girl is from HOTP's Paper Dolls, and the others are from Sew Pretty - a set that came as a freebie in a card making magazine.)  All were stamped in black ink and then heat embossed with black powder.  The greeting is cut with a die from Twisted Metal Tags & Accents from Spellbinders.  

I forgot to take a picture of what was in the kit, but it was three approximately 5" x 6.5" sheets - one of patterned paper, one of green, one of dark pink.  There was also an extra strip each of the patterned paper and the green.  In  addition to that, and the card base, there was a short length of green ribbon and 5 green buttons of varying shades and sizes.  Here's a picture of what I had left at the end 😁:

Fortunately, the back of the green was white so I could stamp my girl on that and color her lighter skin and hair (with watercolor pencils & a water brush).  I stamped her again out of the pink to form the dress, then took a tiny strip of ribbon to put around her waist.  That left me with just enough ribbon to add to the border that I created by cutting a piece of the green - turning it so the white showed, and then adding a piece of the patterned paper that I cut from behind where the border was to go.

As you can see, I layered the green stamped elements on the pink card stock and cut around them with a narrow margin.  The doll/girl and the greeting are raised on foam tape so that hopefully the buttons will make it through the mail okay.

Inside:

For the inside I just squared up what was left of the various papers and used them for a border.
