Time for another challenge at the Snippets Playground and as usual I've found quite a selection of snippets to use.in a variety of colours. The otter was stamped and coloured before being fussy cut and all of the other elements were die cut before being assembled onto the 'brick wall' background which was the largest snippet, trimmed to fit onto the kraft card blank.

A Christmas card challenge has recently come to my notice and you can find the details of the current one HERE.
This is specifically a Christmas challenge with presumably a different theme each time and it so happens that this month they are asking for snippets to be used. As you probably know I have a mountain of these so here goes with a card. I started with a fairly large snippet of patterned paper which although not specifically a Christmas design, I thought it could represent baubles. The gnomes and house were stamped onto a snippet of white and coloured using pencils and more scraps of red and white card were used for the layers and sentiments. There's plenty of inspiration if you follow the link to their blog and it is an opportunity to make a good start on cards for later this year rather than have a rush at the last minute.

The theme for the Allsorts Challenge this time is **spots and/or stripes** and I've gone with spots as a background to this floral card. The floral motif was die cut and layered onto some ovals which in turn are layered onto a piece of DSP. A simple sentiment and all popped onto a piece of spotted paper printed from a USB. A short post today because my fingers are getting really cold making it difficult to type accurately 😊
