Pixie's Snippets Playground - Weeks 260 & 261 - Prize F

And today is the day we (hopefully), slow down a little and take it a bit easier. I love Boxing Day supper - cold turkey, cold pigs in blankets and ham cooked in Coca Cola. Along with bubble and squeak made using leftover potatoes and sprouts with chestnuts, plus a selection of pickles - bliss!

And here is my 'faux parchment' card for today:

I used:

- 4" x 6" Kraft card blank

- Inkylicious 'Small Bauble 1' stencil and a Brilliance 'Moonlight White' ink pad. Just used a duster brush to fill in the stencil area and then ran a Sakura white Jelly Roll pen around the edge of the stencil before removing it from the card front

- next stamped the Inkylicious 'Small Winter Cabin' onto the bauble using a Brilliance 'Pearlescent Chocolate' ink pad

- added dots in the sky for snow, snow on the cabin, fence and ground plus smoke coming from the cabin chimney

- then added some tickles of glue using a Quickie Glue pen before sprinkling with clear Glamour Dust for some sparkle - which is very pretty IRL but impossible to pick up properly with the camera

- and my snippet is the bow I made from a tiny piece of silver edged organza ribbon I found in the ribbon box - attached to the top of the bauble using narrow red line tape

I've seen this 'faux parchment' effect around blogland a few times over recent months and was surprised how easy and satisfying it was, once I looked at the Inkylicious tutorial here. I'm not mentioning where I spotted this technique - purely as I don't want to leave anyone out! One day I'll learn to keep a note of where I first spot things :)

Of course, this is today's prize, three of the main ingredients you need to make the card above:

It's a Small Bauble 1 stencil and a Small Winter Cabin stamp set from Inkylicious, plus a white Sakura Jelly Roll pen.

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 to be in with a chance :) Maximum of one entry please - to keep things fair for those who may not have time to craft.

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