This is my card for this week's color challenge #447. Becky is our hostess and she chose real red, choc chip and bermuda bay as her color trio. Our dessert is to use a die cut.
My card is using the Stamplistic stamp "snowflake nutcracker". I paper pieced his outfit in today's colors. Colored his face and hair with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
My layout is this week's MojoMonday sketch #314. I made a 5 x 7 size card- to accomodate the size of my nutcracker.
This is also for the HYCCT1304 die cut challenge. Kathy is our hostess for this one and she wants us to use either a die cut or punch on our card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next color challenge favorite.

Mary, what a creative and fun Christmas card tin soldier. Love how you used Becky's color combo for the week. Already some really fun and original samples in the gallery. Can't wait to see more. TFS
