Sunday morning again which means another visit to the Playground with a Snippets card and this time the lovely Di has made a bright and colourful floral card showcasing the items which will be the prize this time for a lucky someone and of course using lots of her snippets along the way. My card this time started with a large snippet of card which had been coloured using Pixie Powders and it so happened I had a die cut frame left over from another project. Various snippets were used to cut out some swirls, a bird, a branch and some blossom. I then raided my pot of 'waste' which has lots of tiny scraps from either die cutting or punching - there I found some matching tiny flowers for the centres of the blossom on the branch. Never throw anything away, that's me!!! Using the Misti I stamped the sentiment onto the background. The Pixie Powders give a lovely sheen to the background which doesn't really show here.
Bird - from Birds and Blooms framlits die set Stampin' Up
Swirls - from Swirly Scribbles die set Stampin' Up
Frame - Sue Wilson Noble Pierced squares die set
Sentiment - Free clear stamp from magazine gift
Blossom - punched using Stampin' Up punch
Flower Centres - waste from a floral border punch
Oh wow Val, this is stunning. I love the gorgeous background you've created for these wonderful die cut, a perfect way of using up your scraps.

A great use of snippets, I'm sure the background looks amazing 'in the card', it's so difficult to catch sparkle and shine in photographs.
ReplyDeleteHi Val,

Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

What a cute little bird, and I have to check into the Pixie powders - have not heard of them before, but they look fun!
