Here's my post for the 'curve' Beccy's Place threw us on Thursday when she gave us a prompt of "CASE Yourself" instead of the letter "T" which I was expecting and had prepared ahead. We have to take a previous card we have made and CASE it.
Here's the card I CASEd, one I did last year for the 30 Days of Christmas. You can see the post HERE. I used one of Beccy's freebies.
I decided to reverse the reds and greens from last year's card while still keeping the single character as the main focus. I punched the corners of the image with another Fiskars corner punch, and began searching through my Christmas ribbons. I was looking for that same plaid ribbon but it was not to be found. I really love the one I did find and I think it goes well with the masculine Nutcracker image.
I used an Art Impressions die to cut the snowflakes, made the center one with 2 layers, and added glitter and a gem to the top snowflake. The sentiment was cut with a Die-Versions die and it echos the sentiment from last year.

I decided on something really quick and printed out
a pre-colored version of one of her new Nutcrackers.
I also took my cue from the sketch
at Sketch Saturday.

I do love a curve ball NC, keeps everyone on their toes! You've done a fabulous job with your CASE card, the green version looks awesome. I love the layering of the snowflakes, particularly the silver sparkly one. Fabulous!
