A stamped bird house, birds and flowers on my card today and it wasn't until I saw the picture on the screen that I realised the birdhouse itself was slightly wonky so I stamped and coloured another one and put it over the top, but straight this time so that the finished card looks better.. Quite a few snippets used in the making of this card so I will be popping along to the Playground with it. Everything came from my various snippet boxes apart from the base card and the woodgrain background. I used a snippet of tan card and embossed with brick texture, cut various circular windows into another toning piece of card and a brown piece to back it. The various images were stamped onto scraps of cream card and coloured using pencils - these pieces were then put into place behind the little round 'windows' before assembling the card using thin foam tape for a bit of dimension.. As usual there is a great prize for the lucky person whose name is picked at the end of the two week challenge.
The circles all look so cute and I love the birdhouse too with all the flowers and birdies! Great design for this birthday card!
ReplyDeleteGreat card for the Snippets Playground, it’s one of those optical illusions where I can’t tell if the circles are innies or outies until I read your post :) xxx

Hi Val,
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment yesterday but Google was having tantrums and not letting me comment on some of the posts.
So I gave up and thought it would be better today which it is.
It also wouldn't let me post my card it was also playing silly B excure the swearing.
Love your wonderful card and what a great way of using snippets too.
Love all the stamped images inside those circles.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
What a great snippets card. Thanks for submitting homework to the Snippets Playground.
ReplyDeleteIf you fancy trying out some mulled cider, I understand Carol L is going to try and smuggle some in. Meet us round the back of the bike sheds! x
Great snippets card Val! Like Lesley, I couldn't tell whether your image circles were 'innies or outies' either. They kept changing when I looked away and back again. A lovely design and a lot of fiddly work as wel.
