This one has a country look which is my fave. Patti also used Kittie's Christmas Tree Tutorial which is one of my all time favorite tutorials:
All my paper started out white or kraft. I made the plaid paper using the DRS Woven Plaid stamp and sponging. The bg of my main panel was stamped with Versamark and then pounced with chalk (I used the Pan Pastels Pounce technique but cheated and used some tan brown chalk from a stick rubbing my sponge it and pouncing on the Versamark stamped sheet music from DRS Designs.
Instead of the branches Patti and Kittie used, I went with holly and sponged the colors after die cutting them (love the Sizzix Holiday Greens dies). I went with a dress instead of a tree and added some berries using Dazzling Details in Red.
This is also for the November Fan Club Christmas Card Challenge which I just found out about (I can't wait to do it in 2017 and be done with all my Christmas cards on time next year) and you can find here:
Nancy, this is so creative. I would have never in a million years thought to use the holly for the skirt. I love the Kraft with the red trim. This is wonderful. THanks for your sweet comment about my tutorial. I'm always very nervous when I do those videos.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

This is amazing!!! I was in awe of this card in the gallery and after reading your details, this had to go in my faves for sure. The amount of effort creating this gorgeous card is pure magic to the eye! I love the subtle music panel and the aging is beautiful and the plaid, WOW! The dress is spectacular and love the holly skirt! If I could fave it twice, I would! TFS
