Next set of Digital Stamps that I had so much fun playing with was Nutcrackers COLOUR by Laurie Wilson.

 

I so love this set!! The possibilities are endless! I decided to use one of the Nutcracker images to make an Ornament. Now it would be a great idea to print this one several times, colouring only the top one completely, but the others just around the edges. Then layer all of the images one on top of the other. This gives the ornament more stability and thickness. To cover up the mechanics of this creation, a narrow ribbon should be glued around the edge to give it a finishing touch. (* Tutorial coming up to show this a little later.)

 

Project is being submitted to the following challenges:

For those of you who collect Nutcrackers and display them during the Christmas Season, this one would be awesome to use to make your own large size Nutcracker to place near your fireplace. Just enlarge to desired height, colour, embellish and glue to the front of a saltine cracker box. This box should be wrapped in some elegant Christmas wrapping paper. The box could hold long stick matches for your fireplace, or poppourri, maybe some sweet treats. Just an idea!  You can see that I did add some elegant touches of gold to this guy. I used Stickles to make the gold buttons and added a feather, along with a jewel accent to his hat. This really helped to create a Regal Nutcracker.

 

 

Project Supplies:

Cardstock: Canyon Watercolour Paper

Mediums: Beinfang Watercolour Markers, Copic Markers, Staedtler Watercolour Pencils & Crayons,

Embellishments: Feather & Jewel/Dollarama, Stickles for buttons.
