Nutcrackers

Our challenge is on  again at
Our theme is Anything Goes Christmas
I was lucky to purchase via etsy this Woodware clear
Nutcracker stamp. 
The nutcracker, coloured with prismacolour pencils, 
added coloured paints behind the stamp, 
framed with leaf die using gold foil cardstock.

 Our mood board for inspiration  


Chris, Bella is doing really well since having her pups, thanks for asking and
does she still look like Marvin? Bella is going through puppy stage again...x

That is a neat stamp, like the collage feel to it, great coloring, like the pretty bow and gold accents with it.
Wow having pups during getting ready for your move, you have a lot going on!

Beautiful card with the nutcracker. I do love the leaf frame, too! I didn't know Bella had puppies! Of course, I've been pretty out of touch. She looks adorable and beautiful. Sweet Bella.

Hi Annie, just back from holiday, So pleased to know that your sweet Bella is doing well, she looks lovely in her photo! She does still look like Marvin- just a bit daintier :) We don't think he will ever grow out of the puppy stage!!! He's still as crazy as a box of frogs, even when we think he should be tired out he's still up for more play ...and more walks! xx
