This is so pretty. I would have never thought to use the colors you did for this card. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for all you do for us.

Wow! How wonderful does he look in his frosty colors. He looks like he could be guarding a crystal palace.

I hadn't thought of uniform - will have to remember that one. Lovely slimline card Beccy.

Your color is always so lovely Beccy-- as for me I mostly struggle with coloring images - using the markers - I make a mess it seems many times - the Nutcracker is fabulous - I loved taking my MIL to the Nutcracker and I did for several years - it is one of the most exciting events at Christmas - which did not HAPPEN this year due to Covid -TFS and having this challenge - I am having a fun ride!

My husband passed by my computer a couple minutes ago and I had this "U" post up on my screen. He asked me what I was going to do for "U" and I said I hadn't decided yet. So he said, "I think you should do red underwear! You know the long john type of underwear." I asked him where he thought I would get an image like that and he said, "I'll pose for you!" LOL!
Beautiful card! I adore that color combination and so gorgeous for Christmas!

You used amazing colors - non-traditional.
When the children were little, each year they invented the color of the holidays, made decorations, and bought candles and napkins. I remember how hard it was to find something suitable when they wanted to make yellow Christmas Holidays. But we made it - it was yellow - spring on winter.

Nine years ago I met the nutcrackers during my holiday in Florida and since I'm nuts about them. Your colouring gives him a kind of vintage look. It is so pretty. Love it.

Like Sarah, I wouldn't have thought to use these colors. I love how you choose to go non traditional on so many of your cards! I need to try to do that more.

This image is perfect for a slimline card.

The colours have an icy feel to them. I wonder if he has long johns on under his breeches to keep him warm?

Surprisingly colors for an uniform. It's like an image from a story!
Beautiful card! Thank you for the inspiration!
