Snippets Playground # 523

 Time to visit the Snippets Playground to hand in  my homework for the current challenge and I've chosen to make a card featuring dragonflies.  I found a snippet of white card which, with a little trimming was just the right size to fit my card blank.  Next I had a rummage amongst my collection of inky and embossed snippets where luckily I came across a nice embossed piece and some inky background left over from a 'play' session and used this to die cut the dragonflies.  I also added a touch of sparkle to the wings using a Wink of Stella pen.  The sentiment was produced on the computer to complete this CAS card.

Embossing - EF I've had for a long time (not marked so no idea of the make, sorry)

Allsorts Challenge # 840

 The theme for the Allsorts challenge #840 is **Winter Animals** or the usual *anything goes* option is available.  Prizes are from Visible Image and you can see details on the Allsorts blog post.  For my Design Team card this time I'm sharing one of the Christmas cards which I have made in readiness for the end of the year - always good to be a few steps ahead if possible.  I cut a square of white card using a torn edge die and stamped some snowflakes to use as a background for the penguin which was printed using a download and then fussy cut.  The sentiment came with the snowflake stamp set.  I then found a piece of snowflake patterned paper in my oddments box to finish off the card.
