The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown wants to see a masculine card. I had a pile of scraps of coloured cs on my desk so thought I'd do something that I could also enter into the Snippets challenge.
I die cut the trees, reindeer, and tiny snowflakes. I sponged a wintery sky and tore a strip of white cs for the snowy ground. Then glued all the pieces onto the sky panel to create my winter scene.
My other card uses a new flower stamp I bought at a second hand craft sale and unfortunately I don't know who makes it. It's for The Flower Challenge "use your latest flower stamp or die".

Stamps - Penny Black sentiment

That is a lovely winter scene card with a soft sky and the grazing deer. What a great find at the craft sale and you made a great card with it.
ReplyDeleteSuper scenic Christmas card made with your snippets. Also love your Valentine card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. Once you’ve finished playing on the swings, meet me and Di up in the Treehouse for a nice mug of hot chocolate! xxx
I love your beautiful winter scene Susan using lots of snippets, and then the heart and rose stamp is so pretty on the second also the perfect font and style for the added sentiment, and the red strips top and bottom finish it so well. x
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! I think I need to rethink my shopping habits! What a great find! It doesn't even matter that we don't know who made it - YOU made it sing on your sweet Valentine! Thanks for sharing your find and this beautiful card with us at The Flower Challenge!
