Christmas 27 . . .

 It is time for me to ramp up my Christmas card making and here is my card . . .


  

I wish to enter these challenges . . .
ABC Christmas Challenge T for Traditional Colours 
Creative Fingers Challenge #285 Always Anything Goes (1/3) 
House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC 423 Anything Goes optional Use Scraps of Paper: I weaved left over snippets of designer paper to cover a 148mm card, I also used snippets of smooth white card to stamp onto and snippets were die cut to embellish
Inspiration Station Challenge September I was inspired by the changing colours of the landscape and barn (2/8)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Make Your Own Background (3/5) 
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #665/666 Anything Goes (7/10)


I trimmed my snippets to 1cm in width and then attached a piece of double sided tape onto thin paper at the top.  I left a gap top right before attaching the paper strips along adhesive in a repeating pattern.

Next I attached a strip of adhesive on the left hand side and attached the paper strips in a repeating pattern.  I then wove each strip in and out and adding double side tape along the right hand side and at the bottom.  I trimmed all the excess paper pieces.

I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black onto snippets of smooth white card and coloured them with Faber Castell Polychromos.  I die cut flowers and foliage from snippets Sizzix Textured card using John Next Door dies.   I figured out the layout and embellished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
