so cute!
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then fussy cut them out! I also added some details with a white gel pen! I did some altering of the images after I cut them out - for instance, the legs of the one sloth is behind the sentiment, and the hat on the other sloth goes under the sentiment as well!

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron to ink blend the background. then I used the Leafy Stencil from Create a Smile Stamps to add the leaves in the same colors!
I also used the Wave of Snowflakes Stencil with some white embossing paste to add some snowy texture to this jungle scene!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a strip of black cardstock.
