 Hi There-

Another surprise in the mail from my friend Peggy - the Nutcrackers from Avery Elle.  My Mom loved nutcrackers at Christmas time and this stamp set definitely brings back memories.




The colors at Color Hues challenge are Red and Kraft, I thought the nutcracker and some pine boughs from Stampin Up would work together nicely.


  

Thanks so much for visiting.

This is fabulous, Cat! What I love about it is I don't often see a nutcracker on a card and it's wonderful and unexpected! The pine needles framing him in look perfect! So happy to see you in our gallery at Color Hues! Take care!

I really needed this as a reminder to use watermark ink on kraft more often! Cat this nutcracker is so fun - but the card base is seriously gorgeous!

Peggy is a very sweet friend and you're so good to get busy with the nutcrackers right away. This is super cute in kraft and red. He makes a good splash of color on the neutral background.
