Alison CT - Final Christmas card of the year

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my final Christmas card of this year. This could Quiet easily be re-created in shades of blue for Sally's challenge. 

To begin,  I stamped both sizes of the button using strawberry Versafine Clair and the larger ribbon using rainforest Versafine Clair. All three stamps are from the Doodle Art Nutcrackin' Christmas stamp set. 

I then smoothed festive berries distress oxide on to my blending mat and spritzer with water. I then dipped my background piece in this. I left this to dry.

Then, I used a blending tool to add festive berries oxide around the edge. 

I glued the background to a 5 x 7 card blank.

On separate card,  I stamped the larger nutcracker and the sentiment.  I coloured the nutcracker with pencil crayons and the sentiment with a gel pens. I then cut them out.

Finally I glued the nutcracker and sentiment to the background. 

Products used:

Doodle Art Nutcrackin' Christmas stamp set
