Hello Nomad friends. It's very wet and windy here today with hurricane force gusts predicted. And the end of the month is looming so I think I will stay in, cosy in my craft room, and try and finish some of the very very many UFO's on my desk. Starting with a rainbow card for Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge. Well, a rainbow of colour, even if no actual rainbows........
I made a red/green/yellow brusho background the other day and some of it was still lurking so I cut a piece with Stamplorations Double Stitch Rectangle die, edged with red Promarker and mounted on a red edged white base. I die cut my Sizzix Colorize Deer from scraps, including some stripey colourful ex-packaging. I used the same packaging and a Marianne Designs die for the 'parcel'. I was expecting the Let It Snow to cut, but it's an emboss feature, so I used it as a stencil and with a Promarker black pen accentuated the lettering. A bit of folded organza ribbon and done!

I also had this cute Papirdesigns Nisse die cut from blue and white scraps
I had some Papirdesigns Hytta På Fjellet double sided paper which has this lovely blue woodgrain pattern on one side, so I decided to make a door! I used a Korthobby.no Home Sweet Home charm and a brad for the door handle. Love that little dangly key!!! Then I needed a background. Mushrooms! Perfect. Papirdesigns Sopptur paper, cut with a stitch die and a little frost added to the 'shrooms with glitter glue. A bit of white cut with a stitch edge for some snowy ground and a little more glitter glue sparkle to finish.
