Son of a nutcracker!

Hello again! 

It's a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and the team and I are continuing to showcase the new Joyful Gatherings clear release. For my card today I've stamped the NutcrackerTrio onto a mini slimline card front along with the decorative candy canes from the Front Porch Christmas Decor set. I wanted it to lok like they are decorating a fireplace mantle so once they were all colored up I masked them off and used a bunch of winter greenery stamps from my stash to add the pine boughs and berries behind them. I also did a bit of air brushing at the base of the boughs to deepen the green color and better contrasting with the 'fake snow' space that I left at their feet. I think they look like they are ready to come to life on Christmas Eve and battle the rat king, LOL!   :)

Thanks for stopping by!
