"U" is for uniform, and nobody wears it better than this handsome nutcracker dressed in his Christmas finery. I printed the coloured image onto a piece of kraft cardstock then filled in the white sections with a gel pen to really make them pop! The candy pieces I've used to decorate the card are hand-drawn and coloured with alcohol markers. I have a tutorial HERE for those who might be interested in creating their own.
YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project using the letter "U" as your prompt.

Very cut card and I love the candy pieces around the card
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. The nutcracker reminds me of a Christmas shop we visited in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany in the summer. Outside was stood a nutcracker about two metres tall. Unfortunately it was too big to sneak in my suitcase. 😉 xx
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful and stylish nutcracker looks very handsome. I had never heard of nutcrackers till we went on a holiday to Florida, some ten years ago. Since, I'm nuts about nutcrackers and already have some in my collection. So, it's almost time to get them from my ceiling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial to draw my own candy pieces. I'll give it a try.

He is looking mighty fine!
ReplyDeleteLOVE his fancy uniform and how you have framed him with such shiny candy!
ReplyDeleteLove the peppermint candy the best on this one. Great added touch!
ReplyDeleteWonderful nutcracker image! Perfect for the "u" prompt for uniform.
ReplyDeleteQuestion.... if I create my "u" card while wearing my underwear, will that count?
Looks wonderful on this kraft, I have not thought to do that! I'm hoping to get my funny U card done soon.
ReplyDeleteCute card. I love the candy! I don't have prisma colors, but I am going to have to experiment with some other markers or maybe even try colored pencils and blend the colors. I could just pick your candy off the card and pop it into my mouth! Yum! Thank you for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI've neve thought about printing colored image onto kraft paper but I love the result, Beccy! Very impressed with the use of a white pen to enhance the white on his uniform. I have to try this technique. ;-D
ReplyDeleteYes! A man in Uniform is always impressive!!! Great idea. Never thought of the nutcracker with the letter "U". And your hand drawn candy mints set him off exquisitely.
ReplyDeleteThe uniform is sweeter with those candies!
ReplyDeleteLovely creation. I liked the tutorial for coloring.
Last year I tried and it was perfect!
Well done Beccy on this card for the letter U....great layout....TFS
