Snippet die cut sentiment

 


Yes, it's the window die from Maximum Crafts again! 

I have used snippets to make the base of the card but my real snippet use is the sentiment. A technique I saw and had to try, but maybe I haven't chosen quite the right papers.

This is the technique
You take strips (mine are from snippets) and stick them down onto a piece of card. They should be of equal width, but I am a "by eye gal" and it was good enough for me.You then die cut the sentiment from it. I found it tricky to get the right die to show the strips, but happy with the one I used, just maybe not the colourway.

Here's a closer look at the result.


I'm off to the Snippets Playground to join in the fun.

An interesting snippet technique for the sentiment and the papers look good with each other - maybe a lighter background would show them off to advantage. 😉
