Snippets Playground Challenge # 518

 I'm dashing over to the Snippets Playground to hand in my homework for the latest challenge. This card was made a little while ago when I'd been trying to  use up some stamped, coloured and die cut/fussy cut elements which had been left from previous projects.  These chicks had all been stamped onto snippets of white card.  I then used two of the sizes in the slatted square die set and cut them into snippets of kraft card, backed with squares of darker snippets.  The sentiment was also cut from another snippet of the same dark card.  Everything was then assembled onto a kraft card blank and that's it - my Snippets homework.  We certainly need our warm coats plus scarves and gloves when we go out to play and the paddling pool has been stored away for now - unless of course we get some seriously chilly conditions when it might be transformed into an ice rink, if that's permitted by 'elf and safety' 🤣🤣

Rudolph Days October

 Time for another Rudolph Days card where we are encouraged to rise to the challenge for the last few days of each month (25th to the last day) - full details on the challenge blog.  I've chosen to use a set of poinsettia dies this time; die cut from some card which I'd coloured using Pixie pigment powders, spray starch and some clingfilm, all of which gives a lovely result.  I started with a square of seasonal paper to fit my card blank, followed by cutting a slatted circle into a piece of white card which was then cut with a slightly larger circular die with a tattered edge.  The poinsettia was assembled onto a small circle of scrap card - I used one of the greens which the leaves came from.  Doing it this way meant it was straightforward to just glue it in place on the almost completed card.  There are suitable words on the background paper so I decided no sentiment would be needed for this one.  

I'm sure Helen would love to see one of your Christmas card makes for this challenge so why not join in the fun.  Happy Rudolph Days!!
