Another Christmas Snippet card...

Oooh Christmas card number three and it's not even the end of January.  Unbelievable!  This is another card using snippets left over from other projects.  Infact these snippets are the ones left after making my muscle man card in the post below.  
The glitter frame was die cut from the mat beneath the muscle man image and the bauble was later die cut from the mat.  Oooh go on like this and I'll get a spot on Super Scrimpers.  Urgh I don't think so - I couldn't start rummaging through garbage bins even for craft stash.
I don't always gut card when matting and layering, but I must admit that using a die and just cutting a frame out doesn't take very long at all and with certain special papers and card it has to be worthwhile.
My card is for the following challenges...
Have a fun day whatever you are up to.

Muscle Man...

Not only did I have to do yet another man card, but it had to be one with a muscle man on.  Now, I have a lot of stamps and I mean a lot!  Some people collect postage stamps whereas I collect rubber, but not one of those stamps has a muscle man on and none of my digi kits or even the Dover Collection I bought years ago either.  Thank goodness for blogging friends as Di at Pixie's Crafty Workshop was able to point me in the right direction.  Mo Manning!!  Thank you Mo for having a digi stamp that was perfect for what I needed.

My card can be entered to the following challenges...

Zentangle...

This is a card I did a little while ago while having a play with Zentangle patterns.  I'm uploading it now in the hope that it will spur me on to play with my pens and the huge collection of brass stencils that I have.  The stencil used to make this card is a Dreamweaver one.  Love their stencils.  The two side panels were embossed using a folder which I can't remember the name of.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenge...
