Season's Greetings Toy Solider Christmas Card

Created this Christmas Card using a Toy Soldier/Nutcracker theme.  Used a sketch which you can see below. Used Tim Holtz Mini Toy Solider die. Used vellum & a Fleur De Lis Spellbinder die that I thought complemented the Toy Soldier/Nutcracker look. Used TH metal fasteners/brads. Added ribbon that I bought the other day at Michaels 70% off Christmas ribbon sale that I thought could also be used for non-Christmas as well. Stamped Hero Arts sentiment.
