Pastel Cracker

Our challenge this fortnight at As You Like It Challenge is to use your favourite non-traditional Christmas colours.  My favourite colours for any theme would be pastel pink, blue and purple, so I've combined all three of them to create a Christmas Cracker hexagon shaped gift box which I've cut using my Silhouette. I love the softness of these colours and enjoy the break from traditional red, gold and green.

I've watercoloured an image and matted it onto my favourite Marine Blue card and I've made the base of the cracker using the same card.  I've decorated the cracker with patterned papers which include all three pastel colours, and added a pink organza bow.
