Snippets Playground #460

 Christmas in July has finished in the Snippets Playground but I've made another seasonal card this time as I really wanted to incorporate the little lantern (with tiny candle) which was gifted to me by a generous friend who shared some of her white snippets with me.  I thought it would sit well within a wreath design so I set about cutting all the components from my Christmassy snippets collection.

I had a white snippet which I die cut into a stitched square to fit the wreath but I have to say I had to cut into whole pieces of the design paper and the red card for the other two layers - still plenty of that left for another project of course.   The lantern was coloured using a black Wink of Stella brush pen which has given it a subtle metallic sheen and I sponged a touch of yellow ink onto the background for a 'glow' effect.  I've not decided whether to pop a sentiment on this one or just to leave it to speak for itself.

A super prize for a lucky winner as always so why not sort out some of your snippets and pop along to the Playground - where the sun always shines 😄
