Don't you just love 'two for the price of one' and this is happening here with one card for two current challenges. One is the Snippets Playground and the other is Allsorts.. As usual anything goes for the Snippets challenge as long as snippets have been used and Allsorts theme is autumn leaves.
For this card I searched my 'inky play' snippets collection and found enough of a piece which had been coloured using a selection of Oxide inks in autumn colours so some distressed leaves were cut from this piece (those are my Snippets). I then had to cut into a new piece of cream card to make a layer to fit the card blank and used a leafy cut out border die, placing another inky piece of card behind the aperture. This was left over from a shaving foam playtime so another Snippet. The Autumn leaves are covered for the Allsorts challenge with the die cuts and the colours chosen. The leaves have been edged with some gilding wax but that doesn't really show up in the picture.
If you want proof of 'great minds thinking alike' it is worth popping along to this blog where the talented Sarn has used the self same autumn leaf dies with some clever background work.

Hi Val
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE your leafy snippets card. Your autumn colours are stunning - great inking going on there and brilliant idea to group the leaves like that.
Thanks for the shoutout too 🥰
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Let’s go and find some real leaves to kick around step on to make crunch!!! Xxx
This is gorgeous with those leaves and fun leafy border. You and Sarn really made great use of these leaves on your cards, NJ!
ReplyDeleteSuch an effective design with the side panel in the Autumnal colours and then those pretty leaves (I bought those dies last year and just can't find them!). A perfect card for my optional theme at Allsorts challenge this weeks, thank you so much for joining in.

Great card Val, love how the planets aligned with you and Sarn 😃, and a great use of your Snippets! Xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn colours. The inky pieces are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Val and what fun that both you and Sarn thought along such similar lines too. A really lovely design and those wonderful large leaves, which we all went crazy for, really look to be shining - and not just at the edges. Great background as well - clever sausage!

This is a great Autumnal card Val, using the lovely cut out leaves and the added TH leaves and the inked piece of card used behind the cut out and for the leaves is so pretty and love the colours. x
