    Just gorgeous, Jessica! Love how the white colouring suddenly appeared to turn blue when you added the gold embossing. At one point, I found myself listening to your music rather than watching your colouring. So beautiful!
    Like you, I like to make Christmas cards all year long. I usually find myself singing or humming ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ when I’m creating them, so I guess it’s one of my favourites. Although last week I sounded more like ‘Dreaming of a pink Christmas’. If your check out my blog, you will see why lol.

    Got so wrapped up watching your video with that luscious version of Oh Holy Night! That is my all-time favorite holiday song, reminding me of those childhood days of singing alto in the children’s choir at St Thomas Church. And to learn that it was you playing? How awesome is that! Oh, BTW, your card is gorgeous. Definitely a subscriber.

    Love the card! O Holy Night is one of my favorites along with What Child is This. If we’re talking funny I like Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

    Subscribed to your challenge forever ago. Oddly enough, O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song, as well, so your post is right up my alley. Your rendition is absolutely beautiful…I love the harp and have ever since I first saw Harpo Marx play one. (Sorry if that offends you, I was just fascinated that such a ridiculous clown could create such lovely music.) Just love your card…I’ve said it before, but I’ll repeat myself, that navy cardstock really is elegant the way you use it. This card is a stellar example.

    I love this card!! I like the simplicity of the navy, white and gold. I will have to try this for sure. Your harp music is beautiful by the way. I already follow you on Instagram and I have subscribed to your YouTube channel, I look forwards to future videos of yours. I love Christmas music so it’s hard to pick one song….Silent Night has always been a fav and Jingle Bell Rock for a fun Christmas song.
