All week, we've had such great challenges! For today's IC, I chose The Great Cord Coat. I'm also combining w/ the TLC (medallion), the SC, the WT (cut corners) and the LSC (round & rectangle w/ only ribbon). Since I didn't pay attention to the ribbon part yesterday and goofed by adding a brad, I hope this will redeem me. I think this also qualifies for the DD interactive music theme. "Here we come a caroling among the leaves so green...."
The Carolers were stamped and water colored w/ markers & a water brush then cut out. I made the medallion (my circle for the LSC) and since the center of this one became unattached, I backed it w/ a piece of black. I sponged a little around the edge w/ green ink. I punched the corners w/ the same punch on the white square and inserted a red piece.
The houndstooth rectangle was done using white c/s and the houndstooth CB folder. Then I lightly brayered over it w/ the black. I added a houndstooth ribbon and attached it to a green rectangle then to a white card. TFL

Oh my gosh, that Houndstooth is to die for! I'll need to use it more now that I've seen how well you've incorporated it into your design! Your carolers are sublime and that corner punch definitely punches it up a bit! Great card. tfs
