Holly Jolly Nutcracker

It's the first of December and here's my first new Christmas card I created this year.  My son's favorite color is orange.   That prompted me to use orange for this card.   I tell ya, it was hard to find any matching Christmas designer paper. 



Supplies: 
Stamps: Nutcracker is by Recollections, Greeting is by Stampin Up (Christmas Punch)
Paper: K&Company (Let it Snow), SU Cardstock, misc cardstock
Ink/Coloring: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Tim Holz Distress Ink, Copic markers for coloring
Accessories: Misc. Ribbon
Tools: Corner rounder, Stampin Up (Curly Label Punch)

Technique Notes: 
The orange shadow layer on the punched greeting is simply the same label punch turned 90 degrees.
