This is a combo of challenges - one being a color challenge which leads to all of the bright colors- the other challenge is to use a Christmas Movie as inspiration - which would be the 'Nutcracker'.
The image is from Sweet and Sassy and I used markers. I cut it down with a die from ArtC - Thinking of You set. I framed that with both the blue and green cs that I rounded the corners with my corner chomper.
The front panel is blue cs and I cut the strip of green and then another piece of green on green gingham paper from Recollections. I stamped the sentiment in Blueprint Sketch distress and then covered that with clear embossing powder to give it shine. I cut the edge of the strip with the same die to curve it a bit. Both sentiments are from ArtC Christmas Joy set. The second sentiment is stamped and then I used white embossing powder.
Everything was stacked onto a bright green cs base and I added some apple green Neuvo drops
I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may.
Cut it Up - Movies - Nutcracker
Jingle Belles - Christmas Movie
