Snippets Playground #482

 Time to pop along to the Snippets Playground with my homework for the current challenge where I'm sure pretty well everyone knows that usually the only requirement is that we try not to harm any full sheets of card or paper when making our cards. My snippets 'mountain' is the first place I look when setting out to make a card and I also have a collection of left over die cuts and other oddments which often remain on my desk once a project is completed.  Obviously we need to cut into whole pieces of  card occasionally but then of course that leaves us with more to add to the snippets pile 😉.  I started with my usual square card blank and trimmed a snippet of cream card to be slightly smaller - this was then embossed with a brick wall pattern.  Next step was to raid my snippets of kraft card to die cut the steps/shelf unit on which to place the plants.  The cats, butterflies, most of the foliage and the pots were found in my collection of useful left over bits and I only needed to find some small snippets for a few extra leaves and pots.  The scalloped border used to ground everything was also a snippet which was lying around waiting to be used.  Sentiment was produced on the computer and die cut from the printed sheet. Sorry no photo of snippets 'cos most were cut ages ago.
