Sunday Sketches - For Clara


Hello!
I was recently asked to create a Nutcracker inspired holiday card for a family. 
They have a little girl who adores the story of Clara and The Nutcracker.

I was excited about this project, because it is also one of my favorite holiday stories!
I love going into New York to see
George Balanchine's Nutcracker performed by the
New York City Ballet and visiting the Land of Sweet!

It's truly magical!


So, today I am sharing the beginnings of what will eventually become the card!
I am also sharing this with Sunday Sketches, here.


For those of you that read the blog post from yesterday,
we did get a new leaf blower!
So, today we will be out playing in the leaves.
Enjoy your Sunday
