To be fair, the Beautiful Birthday has already been and gone, but I wanted to share the card I recently made for a very special friend - and I used snippets of course:
I used:
- 5.5" x 4.25" purple card blank, using a sheet from the HunkyDory 'Garden Treasures' card pack, side opening
- a piece of 'white brick wall' patterned paper from the 'Brick Wall Texture' pack - brand unknown, from Amazon - trimmed to 5.25" x 4" and set aside
- a snippet of purple card, leftover from making the card blank, which I die cut using a Craft Addiction's set of dies called 'Slatted Arch'
- piece of white card, also a snippet, onto which I stamped the adorable Newton's Nook 'Dainty Daisies' using Clair 'Nocturne' ink
- then coloured the 'daisies' image using Polychromos pencils before die cutting the bunch using a co-ordinating die
- that meant I could sit and sort of juggle the flowers and arch around a bit until I was happy where the sentiment would go with it
- stamped the sentiment onto the bottom left of the card using Clair 'Nocturne' ink again and a NBUS stamp from Penny Black's 'super day' stamp set
- then glued the brick wall panel onto the card front, along with the die cut arch
- then adhered the bunch of daisies in place using thin snippets of foam sticky pad
- finished!
I'd like to enter this card into:

Dudley Pupdate: With warmer weather the past few days, Dudley is beginning head to cool, tiled, floors to lie on. By this time, late on a Saturday evening, he's usually cuddled up on our bed. Looks like a warm night ahead as he seems to be sprawled in the tiled hallway. Clever little guy! Doubtless with Honka Duck keeping him company.
Sarn has opened up Challenge #531 in the Snippets Playground HERE . See you on the swings! I think I heard mutterings about needing a new paddling pool earlier today!
Love as always, Dudley and yours truly,
Such a pretty card Di, and Dudley is a clever boy indeed xxx

What a wonderful combination with the lovely arched window over the brick paper which makes a perfect background to those very pretty daisies, so beautifully coloured Di. x
