Going dotty

 

I keep my white/cream snippets in a plastic wallet and it was getting rather full. In the past I have had a mammoth sentiment session but this time I tried something different to use some of them up.

I swiped over the snippets with an ink pad. No blending, just the pad direct onto the snippet. This is what I started with.

I used a new die from Pocket Full of Happiness who are based in Germany. But I just heard yesterday they are now being stocked at Seven Hills Craft which is great news, they have so many fab designs.

I took the die and cut out several times using the ink coloured snippets. Then I set about placing them back into the die! I had originally discarded this die cut in white, as some of the ink from the snippets had transferred to the die and marked my die cut. I did this card as my second one and decided I could blend some ink over the whole thing to hid the transferred ink. 

I made this first one below with a more random pattern. I also decided to stamp onto an offcut with blue ink and not sure I like it, although it does look better than in the photo.

I've still got some dots left over, but not enough to fill a circle so for now they have gone into the "dot" pot for future use as card candy.

I'm going over to The Snippets Playground challenge with my card and also linking up at Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. for inky projects to give others inspiration.
