Over at the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog there is a Christmas Party challenge. To enter the challenge you have to link up any Christmas/New Year project and then people looking at the blog will need to vote for their favourites. If you like my card I would appreciate it if you can find the time to vote HERE.
For my card I have used the Saturated Canary image called "Christmas Nutcracker". I decided to keep the colour scheme as black, white and grey/silver so I coloured the image in with varying shades of grey Promarkers. I have then distressed around the image and added some faux stitching. Two of the black and white papers are from Crafty Ann's Digi Store, the other is by Martha Stewart Crafts. The flowers have been made by rubbing dried unused baby wipes with Tim Holtz's Black Soot distress ink pad and then die-cutting with a circle scallop die in my Cuttlebug. The three layers of the flowers are held together with some 22mm brads - I've never seen such big brads - and the surface area looked too big so I coloured a snowflake peel-off with a black promarker and added one to each brad. I have spiralled some memory wire and added a black bead. the card has been finished off with some card candy, peel-off sentiment, grey metallic ribbon, stocking charm and come black organza ribbon.
