However, I've come up with a card and I'm really pleased with it. I decided to use the lovely Nutcracker set - the Nutcracker Prince can be coloured in so many different ways - so this time he's shades of grey and brown. I added a lovely embossed Christmas tree - the folder was free with the Creativity magazine and is just the right size for this card. I added some silver by using a silver sparkle embossing powder for the snow swirls. In real life this card is very pretty - it has lots of sparkle and shimmer - very festive in fact!!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Nutcracker; Personal Impressions - Christmas Sparkle
Promarkers: Satin, Blush, Walnut, Terracotta, Warm Grey 1, Warm Grey 3, Poppy!
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black, London Fog; Versamark; Distress - Vintage Photo
Embossing Powder: Powder Keg - Orient Express; Heat It Up! - Silver Tinsel
Spellbinders: Labels 14
That's all for today - I'll be back again tomorrow.
