so cute!
I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
I also used the coordinating dies for the sentiment! i'm just singing it along in my head right now! ha!

I used Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles to ink blend in the top left corner. then I used the same colors and the Music Stencil for a subtle tone-on-tone background!

I also used the Deco Foil Duo Gel and the Holiday Foliage stencil. once it was dry, I used flock in light and dark green! because what's better than some flock on a christmas card?! lol!! I really love that idea !

don't forget to comment on Jenn's blog post and play along, too! 
enjoy!
