One of the great joys of crafting is to share ideas, swop stuff - and sometimes there's 'Extra Happy Mail' as well! I was recently gifted a Craft Addiction set of square slatted dies by a lovely friend and this is my first result - love them!
I used:
- 5.75" x 5.75" square white card blank, side opening
- snippet of the same card stock, die cut with three nested slatted square dies in one go, from Craft Addiction
- a snippet of pink card, die cut using the outer die from the nested cut used above to form an equally sized outer square
- glued the pink square and the white slatted square together using Collall All Purpose Glue
- glued the slatted square panel just above the centre of the card - to make the sentiment look more 'balanced'
- then added the decoupaged grey and silver rose (Kan Ban and I've had it sitting here ready assembled for ages) using snipped up thin foam pads
- finally - added the sentiment using more snipped up thin foam pads and a Pinkfresh ready foiled sentiment
Managed to capture some of the lovely silver foil shine on the sentiment although the rose decoupage fine foiling doesn't show too well, sigh. I have future and more ambitious plans for the slatted squares - watch this space!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Allsorts Challenge # 825 HERE - under 'What makes you happy' - flowers in my case!
- Darnell's NBUS Challenge #75 HERE - the beautiful set of slatted square dies was having a first outing
Dudley Pupdate: It's hot here and Dudley is very restless, moving from one cool place to another. Houses in the UK don't come with air con. so we rely on umpteen fans around the house - which do help somewhat but aren't a patch on a proper cooling system. Shame he doesn't like water as I would love to treat him to a doggie paddling pool! Plus a little stripey Edwardian style knitted bathing suit - complete with shoulder straps - and perhaps a straw boater hat to complete the look! 😀
Remember, the results from Sarn's Challenge #507 are now published in the Snippets Playground HERE.
Do come and play with us in the Playground - plenty of cold drinks and ice lollies are available - it's HOT here right - now as I already said!
Love as always, Dudley and yours truly,
