Hello.... I hope you are all well.... it's Team A's turn over at
and we have a wonderful theme for you this week of....
'Make it Pretty'
I can't wait to see all your gorgeous creations for this one!
I coloured this very cute Saturated Canary image called 'Christmas Nutcracker' months ago and so thought it was about time I made a card for her to go on. I've used some pretty paper with roses on... it 's not 'Christmas' paper but it seemed to go well with the image. I've used part of a Memory Box Snowflake Sprig Die in top right corner. It's a good job that I buy huge rolls of ribbons though... I waste so much trying to get a decent bow. I usually end up taking all the ribbon off and binning it! Shhh... don't tell anyone.... ;-)
I've coloured 'Christmas Nutcracker' with Copics.

Looking forward to Strictly again on Saturday... wasn't it fab from Blackpool... absolutely loved Susanna and Kevin!

Sue your colouring is fabulous, pretty image and great papers, like the touch of the snowflake twig and a lovely bow.
I am just like you with bows the amount of ribbon I have wasted but I don't really care as I have far too much and could do with getting rid of some as I forget to use it half the time lol.

You've made such a lovely card with a vintage feel using this sweet image! You've colored her so beautifully, and I think the blue of the image and the yellow of the paper make a great contrast. The layout is fab too!
Super card Sue, coloured to perfection - such a lovely image. Know what you mean about bow tying, very hit or miss with me too, but I would say, some ribbons are a lot harder than others. Hope you are staying cosy, just ordered another onsie as I was frozen yesterday! Jx
Absolutely fabulous!
Stunning hun, love the colours & the bow looks amazing!
Hugs Shell xx
Sue that paper is sooooooooo pretty what a perfect choice for this challenge!! Love the image and you have made an amazing job of colouring her in, the shading is perfection!!! Nothing wrong with that bow either Mrs so you need another excuse for shopping for ribbon lol!!
I thought strictly was brilliant last week, everyone was so good and yes Susannah and Kevin (from Grimsby) were fantastic!!!
Big hugs Laurie xx
