Sugarplum Dreams

I love nutcrackers!  My son has a very large nutcracker 

collection that takes up a large buffet top during the holiday season.

So I was excited to get this set and water color the nutcracker!

I stamped him on water color paper in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I used Real Red, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Garden Green and Crushed Curry.

I layered on Basic black then added the wonderful plaid from

Around The World DSP also layered on black.

I used a piece of Crumb Cake ran through my new emboss folder called 

Quilt Top textured emboss folder.

I really like the texture and the pop on a Basic Black base.

Love the sentiment an the font which ran all the way across the card 

on Very Vanilla with some Real Red card stock.

I hope the class loves this card, too!

Thanks for stopping by!
