Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
I'm in "catch up mode" on my Holiday Card making. That means, I'm gonna have to make quite a few cards in the next few months, since I have been slacking off!
The background was stamped in Palette Ink's Burnt Umber onto Basic Grey's Wassail. The nutcracker and drum were stamped in Burnt Umber and colored in with Copic Markers. They were cut out and popped up with Pop Dots.
Finished Card Size: 7 1/2" x 5 3/4"
Tiime to Complete: 28 minutes

What a lovely card! I LOVE the Nutcracker ballet; I used to dance with the local ballet company (many moons ago!), and we put on the Nutcracker every year!

Oh, wow, Faith! This is the most beautiful card you've ever made (in my opinion, at least). Love your background (especially the sheet music) and the drum and nutcracker are little works of art. Stunning.
