Christmas save

 

I printed out these images from Making Cards magazine, and the first one I hadn't amended my printer settings and it was looking a little washed out. As you can see below the colours look much better on that card.

I hate wasting anything and rarely ever throw a card away so I thought I would still make a card with it. However when I came to stick it on the card it went a bit wonky! So I ran the whole thing through a snowflake embossing folder, which I thought made it look like she is in a snow storm and therefore the colours would be muted! It left a bit blank, so I ran another folder over it with the greetings down the side.

I then used a snippet from the other card to hide the wonky bottom part and even used the snippet I had cut out the sentiment from for this gnome card. I must have had this background paper for 10+ years and once I got it out it has proved my fave go to paper at the moment.

I'm entering these cards into the CD Sunday + challenge and of course the Snippet Playground where I was over the moon to win a PB stamp kindly donated by Darnell in the last draw.  I'm just playing for fun this time though.
