        Since I’m a Contributor for Beccy’s Place, I’m entering just for fun! 

I love the Snippets Challenge because it encourages me to use all the scraps that I hoard… I mean save for later use!  I found a treasure trove of not just Christmas plaids, but other plaids, and misc. strips just begging to be put to use. This card is the result. After adhering all the strips to a A2 sized base, I added texture by running the “quilt” through my Big Shot in simple patterned embossing folder. When finished, I added the ribbon, and sentiment, and have a card ready to send to a dear friend who is a seamstress!

Supplies: 

·   Sentiment- Computer Generated onto vellum

·   All other items from my stash.

I enjoy layering digis over backgrounds using a free Word program named Paint.net (find link in my supplies list.) You can find tutorials on the web to use either jpg or png digis and pictures to layer scenes. You can even control the amount of transparency of the backgrounds, hence you can see through BOO! I posted a picture of the layered scene that I was able to just copy, size, and print off. (Note-I provided a photo of the layering before I added coloring so you can see the transparency of the ghost. I also added a WM to this picture to respect the company's copyrights.  The original is saved to my laptop -with no WM- so that I can easily make similar cards in the future!)
