Lotus Blossom

Today's card for Pixie Snippets challenge uses a three step stamp set which comes free as part of Stampin' Up's 'Sale-a-Bration' promotion - a photopolymer set which makes this sort of technique easier than it was when using wood mounted stamps with a positioning gizmo.  I used Pumpkin Pie ink for the stamping and some scraps of matching card for the layers along with an odd piece of paper from the scrap box.  A doily was cut from a scrap of white card and the remaining coloured scraps  were used for the sentiments which were stamped and punched.  On my desk at the moment I have a pile of random bits and pieces, mostly left over die cut corners, flowers etc and I've almost decided to throw them out (something I find VERY difficult!!) - on the other hand they might be 'saved' and used on future Snippet cards.  I don't know why I find it so hard to throw anything away because after it isn't as if I don't have oodles of scrap card to cut more as and when they are needed and then at least they would hopefully be just the right colour or design I need at the time.
