Day 29, Letter "Z" - Beccy's Place 30 Days of Christmas

      Last letter of the alphabet and tomorrow is the last day of Beccy's Place 30 Days of Christmas.  "Z" is another one of those difficult prompts because very few Z words relate easily to Christmas (Zoo, Zebra, Zany, Zipper - see what I mean?)  So, I used the tutorial at Beccy's and made a Double Z Fold Card.

     The candy cane image is from Beccy's Place and everything was done using up scraps, including the piece of CS on which the image was printed.

 

Here's a shot from the top showing the Z folds.

Colors came from the inspiration at 

Color My Heart Color Dare #371

We had to use only 2 of the colors and neutrals didn't count.

I chose red and green.

Colored with ProMarkers
   (I used 'Vanilla' instead of white on the candy canes so it would better match the beige in the papers)
Image cut with Die-namics stitched die
Paper scraps from Graphic 45
Folds were scored on Scor-Pal board

Zoo's Who?

     When it's Christmas at the National Zoo, the giraffes have a 'high' time catching snowflakes!  It's the final day of the 30 Days of Christmas at Beccy's Place and the prompt for today is the letter "Z."  I did a Z-fold card and used a Zoo theme.  :-D

I started with the colors offered at My Favorite Things.

     I used ProMarkers to color, then cut the image and the sentiment with stitched dies from CUTplorations.  The red mat is also cut with another die from that same set.  I did the Z-fold on a slant, cutting off the top, right-hand, corner of the card front all the way to the middle fold before adding the image piece.

     I found some lovely silver ribbon, dotted with glittery snowflakes, and I wrapped it around the card front, behind the image piece.  I also added a glittered snowflake.

     I can hardly believe I managed to play each and every day of the 30 days at Beccy's Place and it was really fun.  I now have an additional 30 Christmas cards in my stash and that's a good thing since I plan to donate at least 75 Christmas cards to the Senior Center just down the block from my house.  Every year, those cards are so appreciated and I even get calls from the Center now asking if I'm bringing cards again this year.  :-D
