Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
I wanted to use this stamp set, so I had to enlarge the card base. I stamped the Musical Score in Burnt Umber onto Hazel Nut Tan and sponged the edges.
The sentiment circle was die cut, then stamped with the sentiment and holly. I colored in the holly with Copic Markers. The Nutcracker was stamped onto Classic Flax and colored in with Copics. Next, I cut him out.
I tied the crown charm to the ribbon knot with cording.
This fits the Red Divas Challenge.
Finished card size: 5 3/4" x 4 1/2"
Total Time to complete: 38 minutes...I got a phone call! LOL

When I first saw this soldier, I loved the look of reverence of the entire posture of the image. I still think that and love the regal warmth of your design, Faith.
