I'm off to visit the Playground to see if there's still anyone left in the conkers game and also to take along my homework for the current challenge. This started out with an idea for a Christmas card but in the end I couldn't find a seasonal sentiment which looked 'right' so I ended up adding the 'Hugs' one which I felt was appropriate and fitted better. You would have thought with the number of stamps I have there'd have been a fairly small simple Christmas one but sadly not. Doing one on the computer was a thought but I have no cream card which will go through the printer 🙄. Anyway, back to the card - I die cut a series of parcels using cream and gold pearl mirri and assembled them - also die cut the two teddies in cream (the larger one was layered for a bit of dimension). I then did my usual thing of trying a few different arrangements until I was happy and then glued everything in place. The final thing was to cut and glue the sentiment into the available space. I suppose this card would be OK for Christmas but could probably suit almost any occasion involving piles of presents 😊.

No conkers left Val, the Squirrels have buried them all for the Winter, but hear a bonfire is being built for next week. Your card is very sweet and the soft colours with gold really work well.

The gold and cream colors look wonderful together and those 2 little bears sitting in front of all those presents look perfect. What a fun snippets card this turned out to be!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of pink and gold Val, and the mountain of parcels makes a fabulous background for the couple of cute teddies..such a sweet and pretty card. x
ReplyDeleteLove this cute teddy bear and presents card using up your cream, pink and gold snippets. So cute. Could be another entry into Allsorts too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for hot chocolate later. Hope you're coming trick and treating with me next week and have your costume ready! xxx

Bear Hugs back Val! Great card xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Val - I really love the softness and pretty colour combination. I find small Christmas stamps and dies for sentiments aren't always easy to find these days.

I love the pink and gold/cream combo. Certainly would be perfect for a little girls birthday.
