My snippets make today is actually two cards, same design featuring different colours:
I used:
- 5" x 5" black card blank side opening
- a sheet of paper from a Stamps By Me 'Creative Watercolours' paper pack - I chose primarily pinks as well as primarily blues for the two leaf sprays
- die cut the solid part of the leaf spray using a die from Pink & Main's 'Leafy Dies 1'
- a snippet of white card from which I die cut the white leaf spray outline using the second die from pink & Main's 'Leafy Dies 1'
- glued the leaf outline onto the solid portion using a glue pen - fiddly!
- glued the leaf spray to the card front
- next came the silver sentiment, which came from my little stock of ready-foiled Julie Hickey assorted sentiments which I foiled months ago
- final touch was a sprinkling of tiny white pearls as the plain black background was too stark .... IMHO
- finished!
I'd like to enter the following challenge:
Allsorts Challenge #856 - HERE - under 'Anything Goes'
Dudley Pupdate: We're still on a schedule of regular car outings here and Friday was a landmark! On the way back home I glanced around and Dudley was curled up having a little snooze on the back seat behind us - finally he feels relaxed enough to drop his guard and just close his eyes for a while. Yay!
The results and winner of Challenge #538 can be found HERE .
Sarn's current challenge is halfway through over in the Snippets Playground - just scroll down from the results post. The paddling pool is still open, although by and large the temperatures have been much more bearable the past couple of days. thankfully.
Love from myself and Dudley,
Lovely cards Di, and good news about Dudley settling in the car xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Di. The leaves look so striking against the black background. Good to hear that Dudley is finally happy to doze off in the car.

Super cards, the pearls are just the right amount of sparkle to give the whole thing a lift. Thank you for joining us at Allsorts. It seems as if riding in the car is becoming a natural part of Dudley's routine which is good news for everyone concerned.
