Patchwork Santa

Hello Nomad friends.  I have a Technique Time post over at Let's Squash It! today.  This month I'm exploring turning trash into treasures using embossing folders and scraps together.  I am sure most of us have too many scraps and I have been working hard at getting some of mine used or binned.  Binning goes against my nature, so finding ways to use them up is paramount.  I had great fun with this post and have converted a nice pile of scraps into mojo inspiring frames, layers and toppers.  Hop over and check it out.  

Here's a card I made using a pile of beautiful embossed squares.

A nice big die cut Stamplorations sentiment and Santa in his sleigh with reindeer die cut from a black scrap to finish.   Thanks for the black sentiment vote ladies. 

Thanks for dropping by.  The new Let's Squash It! challenge starts on the 10th.  Hugz

Lovely card Gail, so striking. A black die cut sentiment would be perfect. xx

And you've added exactly the sentiment I was thinking would best suit the card! Bravo, and thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x

Love the shades of red and the different textures, it all looks fabulously coherent! The silhouette and bold sentiment work really well with it, fab card Gail!

How super to create something so lovely from leftovers. Isn't it satisfying when you do that? Stunning card and I love the red and black.
