Plaid snippets

 


I've been agonising over buying this spellbinders sentiment die. I then when I got it realised that of course all the letters are individual and not easy to line up.

I had this piece of paper left when I used the bottom half for another card and thought it was too nice not to use. I tried to mimic a well known die as I didn't have a lot left and partly insert the sentiment into it. Looking for something to off set the design I found these two snippets of plaid paper in my pack.




Still thought it was lacking something so I added a few silver stars.

I'm entering this into the Snippets Playground challenge.

Fabulous card Lynn - and I know exactly the die you were thinking about emulating. However - what you made surpasses it and is truly stunning. I would runaway from separate letters in a die but I know there are ways around it by using the waste as a template and however you did it - it truly is wonderful with great use of snippets too!

It's a so classy sentiment with an Art Nouveau style, so I understand so well why you had to buy it, Lynn! Not easy to line up, but you did a fabulous work! Love the idea of the insert it partially in the DP and the plaid corner!

Brilliant combination of traditional and modern, and well done you lining up all those individual letters, that must have taken some doing but well worth the effort

I love how you used those sentiment letters so creatively keeping some white showing in the letters. The plaid is perfect on the corners for a great Christmas card too!

Love that Christmas greeting sentiment, with the small Santa image and gorgeous papers.

WOW - I LOVE this Christmas card Lynn. Hate it when a die isn't quite what it seems, but I must say you've done a great job sticking the individual letters in place. Love the plaid too - and your little star embellishments.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate later! You might need a splash of Baileys in it after persevering with those letters! xxx
