Quite a while ago, I picked up this free digital image, aptly named Nutcracker, from AJ's Digi Shoppe. Beccy Muir is having a November Daily Christmas Card Challenge and for Day 14 the theme was Symbols of Christmas. What would Christmas be without hearing the songs from the well-known ballet, The Nutcracker Suite? (and candy canes, too!)
I cut the green foil and red polka dot paper with Spellbinders dies. I even used the teeniest die in the set for under the gold brads. Ribbon was from my stash. The 'Happy Holidays' sentiment is a CTMH stamp. And I used markers to color the image.While the potatoes are boiling on the stove, I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteNutcrackers are definitely a symbol of Christmas Debi, I was always half fascinated and half terrified of them as a child... must be those big teeth! I love the striped candy cane paper you used in the background and I also like the multi-layered die cuts you used for your sentiment. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
