Good Morning... A couple of fun challenges today. I forgot to add the stickles to his little hat before the photo but I assure you it is added now...

Judy's Rules
1. You need to use something that you thought wasn't worth saving, remnants, leftovers, etc. it could be your main part of your card, as mine is, or it could be in the background with a nicely stamped foreground.
2. You need to have two DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES (your choice, and please describe!)
3. You need something shiny. There are lots of shiny things around -- so whatever you like for that part!
1, I started out using a package of Rold Gold Pretzels that I kept for the layout on the front. It was shiny yellow, so it perfect for two of the rules. I cut a piece of the yellow out of the package and adhered it to a piece of card stock and die it with a SSS star die. I also used the negative part of a die cut which is normally thrown out.
2,
a, I used masking to mask off the dog in the tree stamp and masked off the gift that the mouse is holding on the base of the card.
b, I used fussy cutting and paper tole for my second technique.
3, I used glossy accents (on the ornaments), stickles ( on the hat and under the tree), and foil packaging for my shiny items.

Wow, as someone who has containers and containers of 'throwaways', I can hardly relate to someone who is as well organized as you are. I'm glad you saved the negative die cut. It is perfect here as a window to your wonderful scene. I love the use of the pretzel bag for a star and that pom pom tail is darling.
