Sunday Snippets - Feathers

Happy Easter everyone - I hope the sun shines for you and that perhaps you even got a new Easter bonnet! Here's my snippets card for today:

I used:

- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank, side opening 

- a snippet of pearlescent Tonic 'Majestic Gold' card, trimmed to 5.25" x 4", then glued to the card front

- a snippet of chocolate brown card, trimmed to 5" x 3.75" and glued onto the gold layer on the card front 

- a snippet of white card onto which I stamped a feather stamp from SU's 'Four Feathers' stamp set. Did it three times using three different Memento Dew Drop dye ink pads - 'Desert Sand', 'Toffee Crunch' and 'Peanut Brittle'

- then die cut the three feathers using a die from the matching set 

- sentiment next and I used a Heffy Doodle 'hello' die to cut the word twice from a snippet of the same brown card as the background

- then gued both words together before mounting the 'hello'  mounted it onto the 'shadow' layer - die cut from a snippet of plain vellum 

- glued the sentiment in place in the bottom right-hand corner

- then glued the feathers in place - little tip - glue the top and bottom ones first so that the centre one can be evenly placed in between them. I also alternated the direction of the feather tips and quills for added interest

- finished!

I'd like to enter the following challenge: 

Allsorts Challenge #846 - HERE.  Under 'Anything Goes'

Dudley Pupdate: It's been another quiet week for Dudley in terms of adventures. The cabin doors have been open on a few of the sunny days we've had recently - and he always hops in to say hello to one of his little monkey toys which sits on a chair doing guard duty!

Never mind, he has a real treat coming on Wednesday afternoon - not that he'll be at all impressed. It's time for Dudley's annual check-up as well as a couple of booster jabs. One is only every three years and that one seems to take him one degree under. But, he's a healthy little bundle of fluff and will usually be right as rain the following morning.

The results of Challenge #528 are now published HERE. 

Do please come and play in Sarn's current challenge over in the Snippets Playground - just scroll down from the results post.
