Day 6 – Winter Whiskers 🐾 Today’s prompt fo Day 6 – Winter Whiskers 🐾
Today’s prompt for the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is all about adding festive flair with your favourite furry friends — but I couldn’t resist taking it in a slightly different direction.

Inspired by the brilliant @ameliascreative, I’ve leaned into the nutcracker’s own whiskers for this one! His moustache steals the show, bringing a fun twist to the theme while keeping that classic Christmas charm.

Layers of pattern, a bold sentiment, and a touch of twine tie it all together for a truly Jolly Christmas moment.

✨ Join the challenge and share your take with #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge
