Music of Christmas

For today's Christmas card design I used the violin from the Mini Musical Instruments die set by Spellbinders. The poinsettia and pine are from the Skating into the Holidays die set also by Spellbinders. The sentiment which was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink is from the stamp set Camel by Gina Marie Designs. I brushed the edges of the card with Tea Dye Distress Oxide Ink by Ranger.
