I just adore these gals and I love playing with them each month. This month Julie chose the image (Autumn Abundance by Papertrey Ink) and Alli chose the paper (Merry Days of Christmas by My Mind's Eye) I can't wait to see what they do with the same products.
I used colored pencils but didn't feel like shading because I thought it would make a bolder statement being solid. I punched circles form the patterned paper and created a scalloped edge. I also added some coordinating ribbon from American Crafts
Here's the other JiFFy (just for fun) girls links:
