I used a brand new set I just ordered from VERVE called "Bright Spirits".
I enjoy non-traditional Christmas cards but I really love the impact of Kraft, Red, Green and Black. Using some distress inks, I sponged every edge but left the doily white. The music notes are an old background stamp I own...I stamped it in Kraft ink and sponged it too.
I am playing along with the following challenges:
