Today's card has been made with two challenges in mind. Firstly for the Snippets Playground where as usual we are encouraged to use up our snippets. Apart from the card blank, everything else on this one came from my Snippet mountain, as you can see from this picture.
I trimmed a white snippet to be slightly smaller than the card and then used a selection of snippets for the other components. The dragonfly was cut from a snippet of glimmer card which had been coloured using alcohol inks. After assembly this had a little bit of gilding flake added. Some stencil work was done on the white background and the sentiment was cut from a sheet which I'd composed and printed using Word.
I'm also visiting the Allsorts Challenge with this one because their theme this time is **Birthdays or anything goes**.
