I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies.

SNIPPETS CHRISTMAS CARD

Hi and welcome to my blog all my craft loving 
friends, and visitors.
Well the storm hit us and we survived without
any damage thank goodness.
I feel for anyone who wasn't so lucky as us.
I had a very restless night though as the noise kept waking me up.

My card today is for the Pixies Playground Snippets challenge, as it was made out of snippets.
I still find it amazing what you can create out of
snippets.

CLICK TO ENLARGE.


This is a 6'x6' size card.
I embossed my snippets card with my embossing
folder that came with my E Bosser
Then I stamped the image on another snipptes
bit of card, and coloured it in with Promarkers.
I added some cosmic shimmer glue dots in red.
The sentiment stamp was a bargain from 
Papermania stamps set of 9 stamps for £1-99
I do love a bargain and these are excellent 
stamps for the price. I bought it at the Works.
I used a red Promarker round the edges of the
embossed card and the stamped image.

Thank you again for you visit and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

Hi Jenny, just saw your card at Pixie's Snippet Playground, and came over to say Hi, and join as your newest follower. Hope you'll find time to visit me when you can. I love your card. Poinsettias are one of my weaknesses when I'm looking at stamps, and you've colored this up so beautifully. Loved that embossing on the background too. Really made your stamped image pop. TFS & Hope to see you often at the Playground. Also happy you didn't have any damage from the storm. It sounded dreadful when I read about it on MSN

Jenny, your card is lovely and Christmasy, Poinsettia is beautifully coloured.

Your snippets card is really lovely, I love the stamping and colouring, I haven't got to grips with colouring in and shading yet, ha ha !!
Have a lovely day.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
