Here are my 10 cards for February's Christmas Card Challenge. Forums at Splitcoaststampers Anita Thomas (neet) sent me these fantastic nutcracker images a few months ago, and I thought they were perfect to use with this old sketch challenge, too. (SC61 Forums at Splitcoaststampers)
The images were stamped with Jet Black StazOn onto GP110 cs. I colored them with SU markers and watercolor pencils. They were cut and embossed with Nestabilities and layered onto Real Red cs that was also cut and embossed with Nestabilities.
The Whisper White card base measures 3.5"x6.5". I punched half a hole on the fold of the card 1 1/2" up from the base with my Slot Punch and added the Real Red striped grosgrain ribbon. The image was perfectly stamped in Basic Black ink with the assistance of my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. For a clean finishing touch, I used my Small Corner Rounder Punch on all four corners of the card and added a small red rhinestone to the nutcracker's hat.

I j;ust love this! Having spent time in Germany and having a picture of a very pregnant me standing next to a life size nutcracker, this makes me think of that picture. Beautifully colored.
