This is for the Sketch Challenge. This was so much fun to make. The stamp and dp are Graphic 45. I stamped him in Momento and colored him with Copiccs...many Copics! My base is Pacific, the red layer is burlap then the dp. My circles are Concord Crush and I ran them through a new TH ef that is a pine branch. I used some gold glittered ric rac at the bottom and some red stickers I have. I don't use many stickers but I love these so I sort of hoard them because I can't find them anymore. Inside it says Merry Christmas. This was really a fun card to make. Love this challenge.
Thanks for looking and hope you like my card.

Wow, such a colorful nutcracker. Fabulous color combos in the card.
