Merry Monday #48

We have a brand new Merry Monday today, this week Lesley has a colour challenge for us.
 
 
I ordered this DP online for the swirls and was not quite sure what I was going to do with the Nutcracker side when it arrived. When I saw the colours for this weeks challenge I was pretty excited.

 
How can I not used these guys as the focal point, I added a vintage style greeting and finished with some twine and a old button from my stash.

Supplies: Natural Ivory, yellow/orange and gray card stock, Designer Paper –Graphics 45, Stampendous-Seasons Greetings, twine, button.

Please visit Lesley's Always Playing with Paper to see what the design team has created.

Cheers,
Nina

    Love your nutcracker paper, perfect colors for this challenge. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog! I had to chuckle at LeAnne's comment about orange snowflakes not cutting it, I used one on my card. ;)

    Lucky you to have the DP with the challenge colours in it! I had my unfinished card sitting on my desk for 2 weeks trying to decide what to do with those colours! I love the vintage feel of those nutcrackers and the sentiment style suits them perfectly!
