There's a new challenge over in the Snippets Playground where I'm sure you probably know that's where we are positively encouraged to use up some of our snippets rather than cutting into whole pieces of new card or paper. There's always a super prize for one lucky entrant each fortnight as well so why don't you search through your own snippets and have a go 😀. This time I've used my usual card blank and I also had to cut into a new piece of card for a layer slightly smaller but of course this leaves me with a sizeable snippet for other projects. The wonky tree was stamped onto this piece of card and then stamped again onto a selection of quite small snippets of various green paper so that I could fussy cut the sections to paper piece onto the image. As these pieces were so small I trimmed them over the waste paper bin so I'm afraid I couldn't take a picture of them this time - they really were tiny 😉. The sentiment was stamped at the bottom and some small gold stars added - these were leftovers from a previous card. I always save any die cuts, however small because they always come in useful at some time. Finally I decided a border was needed and luckily I found a large green snippet for this and of course 'gutted' or cut out a square from the centre before using it here - no one would know once the card is assembled.

ReplyDeleteLove your wonky tree Val - I too bought that stamps from Crafty Roo's in their sale when we all rushed in like a load of crazed females to grab their bargains. It's on my desk in a NBUS basket and yes, it's quite small, so I see exactly why it was fiddly to make but what a wonderful result! Love the different papers in green.
