Woodland Scene

As part of my frugal crafting year, I'm on a mission to reduce my 'snippets mountain' - this Christmas card is made entirely from snippets.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     Creative Dies 'Woodland Scene' die
     Snippets of white matt card, Funky Fossil 'In To The Blue' paper and silver mirri

I die cut the woodland scene from white matt card, removing the small tree from the bottom of the die cut as I prefer the scene without it.  I didn't have a large enough snippet of blue paper to cover the whole of the back of the die cut, so I used two small snippets - making the join behind one of the trees so it doesn't show.  The panel was then layered onto silver mirri and attached to the centre of the card.  To finish I die cut the star (part of the Woodland Scene die) from silver mirri and attached it above the deer.

I am entering the following challenges:
     52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Clean and Simple
     ABC Christmas Challenge - Y for Your Choice (my choice is die cuts using lots of snippets)
     Allsorts - Cold as Ice
     Pearly Sparkles Challenge - Clean and Simple

A beautiful clean and fresh silhouette design and it feels great to use up some of those snippets doesn't it? I must tackle my mountain!

This is a lovely die featuring the deer amongst the trees, and the white die cut backed with the blue card really makes it stand out Kath, and the star and silver mat go beautifully. x
