Utilise that snippet!


This card started out with me trying to make a wreath card using an Altenew magazine stamp set. I was fairly pleased with the arrangement and then I added some greenery with my paint brush. Then to decide what to do with it. 

I had a hunt through my snippet box and found the perfect colours to match my flowers - what a chance find. 

Here is the snippet, not large enough to do double circles like I wanted to. I can't even find a new sheet of this colour which I think is from SU years ago. I made do with a small circle for the centre. But wasn't happy.


I set about finding another way to incorporate the colour into the card more and came up with these JND dies. Just managed to squeeze them onto the snippet. Not realising that they are to cut into card, but don't cut out - doh!. So I fussy cut them and put on the corners of the card.


I'm off to the Snippets Playground, bit early for Halloween but I will pop back then to go Trick or Treating with the gals.

You clearly have the patience of a saint to make the most of that pink snippet and fussy cut all those bits! That's determination of a special kind! LOL Your card is gorgeous and that little pink snippet was worth all the time you spent creating with it the way you did! Take a bow :)

Love the colour scheme of this Lynn and what an awesome use of the pink snippet! I also find there are certain shades of colour card from years ago I can’t get now and it is really frustrating … cool pinks are a good example! xx
