Pixie's Snippets Playground Weeks 313 and 314 - Prize C

Time for another Christmassy 'Snippets Playground Celebration' prize - and it's a bit of a quirky one. Either that or the elf has been at Parsnip's secret drinks store in the Playground, snigger :)

I used:

- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank, tent style

- spotty and striped snippets of patterned paper from a Dovecraft 'Back to Basics Christmas' paper pack - love the contemporary look of these papers and I keep every tiny left over scrap

- the little elf and reindeer image was stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and a Stampingbella 'Elf with a Reindeer on Top' stamp

- coloured the image (to pick out the colours in the patterned paper) using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and Sansodor Blending Solution, then tickled the pom pom and fur on the elf's hat with clear Wink of Stella

- used the matching die to cut the image out - and as usual I die cut a card template first to be sure it all lined up properly. Just tape the template aperture lined up onto the image, slot the die back in, add a little bit of extra tape to hold it in place (optional - and always use low tack tape of course) and it works perfectly every time

- attached a strip of spotty paper along the bottom edge of the card and 'reclined' the elf on it

- finally die cut a couple of banners using dies from the Frantic Stampers 'Stitched Fishtail Banners' set of three dies and my chosen snippets then glued them in place in the top left corner

- I opted not to use a sentiment on this card - it speaks for itself really!

And so, this is today's prize:

Of course, it's the same as the elf stamp and die I used for my card, along with a set of the stitched banner dies :) I really would like to keep this as one single prize to help keep postage costs down a bit - but, if you do have a burning desire for just the elf stamp and die together or the banner dies then please say so and I'll see what I can do! EDIT: Having thought it through I've decided that it's 'in for a penny. in for a pound' and if you would like one part of the prize only then if you win I'll do a second draw(s) for the rest of the prize.

At the end of all of the celebrations I'll do a massive draw session for all the prizes using the one Mr Linky - which is on the main snippets post HERE - so you do need to have entered one snippets make over on that post during this fortnight to be in with a chance :) Maximum of one entry please - to keep things fair for those who may not have time to craft - Mr Linky closes at 11am on Saturday 6th January.

Just leave a comment on this post if you would like the chance to win today's prize.

I see that yesterday's prize is especially popular - that Inkylicious Pine Trees stamp really is a corker and Sarn's card is absolute perfection.
