this is my card for Dawn/s fridya free for all challenge.
we were to get inspired by the nutcracker suite.
I stamped this nutcracker and colored him with the colors of the curtain call act 58 colors - concord crush, basic gray, crumb cake.
the image is colored with prismacolr pencils and blended with. gamsol.
my bg is from the cb ef winter wonderland. the card base is concord crush but this color is such a deep, dark purple that it looks black when it photos.
I added a ribbon tab in concord crush and some gray rhinestones and that completes this card.

Mary, I love your grim-looking little nutcracker. Most of them do look grim...guess cracking all those hard nuts does make one's teeth hurt! : ) I love your coloring of him and the beautiful snowflake embossed bg around him.
