Good morning, waltzers! Welcome to the November Friends of WMS Blog Waltz.If you want to waltz along with us and you haven't yet linked up your project, head to this thread in the WMS Forum to link up your creation and view the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen and participating in our little contest! The DT members are each hiding an image (or not!) on their cards. Keep track of their count and a correct guess could win you a stamp set of your choice!
I can't think of many things more festive than these red and green Nutcrackers! I colored each of them with Copics and cut them out. My background pattern was created by filling up an acrylic block with all the sentiments in the Nutcracker Sweet set - I love this, and particularly like the many ways to say Merry Christmas!!I stitched a strip of dark green felt to my card so my Nutcrackers had a place to stand, and I added some multi-colored crochet thread which is even a bit more fun than baker's twine!!
Have fun waltzing! Make sure to head back to the WMS Forum to chat and join the contest.
I hope you will join us! Have a great day!
Anya
