I raided the scrap box for some strips of blue and stuck them on a white card base. I embossed with Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. Then I stamped, coloured and fussy cut Mark's Finest Papers Nutcracker stamp. The sentiment is a Rubber Dance stamp from the Winter Wonderland set embossed with blue powder.
Blue snow. Cool. Hugz

Kult kort og takk for at du er med på utfordringen hos Papirplaneten,
Bente:)
The nutcracker was a recent theme on a challenge blog that I haunt and it ended up being quite fun, although my nutcracker was not nearly as regal as yours with all those winter blue tones. Makes a great card, Gail. And, oh, my! Your poor chickens. I didn't know that the cold and show bothers their feet. You have a very resourceful hen there! lol
I just love what you did with the background on this card - great use of scraps!
Nice background treatment!
Hilarious about your hen standing in the warm water!!! Mine just stay in their henhouse and huddle together. Sometimes our winters are so cold (and I'm sure yours are, too!) that their combs get frostbite and partially fall off. Poor little gals. That has only happened a few times, though....for my chickens, at least. But it's pretty common for them to get a little bit of frostbite around here if we have an extended cold snap. This winter has been very temperate so far, so we are liking that a lot.
Really like your layered embossed background with your fabulous nutcracker. That technique is one of my favorite things to do with scraps. Always looks tailored and finished. I already have this week's stamp set, so I am not entering the MFP challenge. Not that it would make any difference....no matter how many entries I make, I don't get drawn. Haven't won there since June!!! lol... Whatever! :)
