Challenge #464

Here's another fresh challenge for you - I'm still on the 'Christmas card roll' for now and this is my Snippets card for today. Super CAS and pretty simple to make as well - but tricky to try and capture the 3D embossing in a photo:

All the details of how I made it are over on Pixie's HERE- as well as Dudley's latest 'adventures'. Think grooming and you're already on the way!

The prize for this fortnight is shown below:


The prize bundle this time  is: a Woodware 'Butterflies' set of stamps, kindly donated by Val and a Crafters Companion 10-piece set of 'Flying by to say Hi' stamps (with matching dies for the flying geese) kindly donated by Linby. Plus, from me, a set of HOTP 'Falling Leaves' embossing folder and a 2-piece leaf die set - just in time for Autumn!

As always, the Snippets Challenge will run for two weeks and the Playground gates will close at 11am UK time on Saturday 14 October. The gates will open again at midnight UK time on the same day. Mr Linky is below this post. 

Please state what snippets you used on your entry, or add a photo of them, otherwise it won't count in the prize draw. Remember that we do reserve the right to delete non-compliant entries. It's very important to us to keep the Playground as a happy place to come and play - as well as making sure everyone plays nicely and fairly. 

Winners outside the UK: please remember that you may be charged fees and import duty on your prize - although Sarn and I always send them out clearly marked as "gifts". 

Love and hugs from Di and Dudley,

  5. What an elegant slimline Christmas card! I love the look of white for Christmas, and that embossed scene is so pretty! I have oodles of embossing folders and really need to play with them more! I just saw a technique for swiping a gold ink pad over a 3D embossed panel to add some metallic accents to the highest parts of the panel, and it was stunning! The prizes are beautiful, and I'd love a chance in the draw.

  14. I love Clean & Simple and your card looks so beautiful and elegant.
    Everytime when I try to make something like this, I get the feeling mine looks too empty and end up adding too much to it to still be considered a CAS.
    Playing just for fun this time.

    Sending you lots of hugs,
    Renata

  19. I'm in please. I haven't been around in so long. Hope I haven't forgotten anything. I so coveted Carol G's card from the last fortnight. I told her so too. Di, your 3D embossing is just beautiful. I agree about capturing it on camera. It's kinda like capturing gold or silver glossy. Ha Ha on that.

  23. Beautiful card!! The pure white embossed image nails the look of a snowy, winter day! The pop of red matting the gray from the sentiment are just perfect to add to that look! I really, really, really would like the leaves part of the prize, but the other part doesn't interest me at this time, so I am playing just for fun this time around, thanks!
