I reckon I may well be on the naughty step in the Snippets Playground because there is no picture of my left over snippets this time. The main reason for this is that I've had a real flurry of making cards using my recently acquired slatted die sets which has entailed pulling out lots of my old stamps and/or dies in an effort to come up with a variety of ways to combine the old with the new.. Another dilemma was which card to choose to take along to the Playground for the current challenge and eventually these quirky birds won the day, closely followed by most of the remainder, which you will be seeing sooner or later. Apart from the card blank, everything else came from my pile of snippets - mostly all white apart from the three little pieces used to back the circles to add a little colour. (pink, yellow and blue). I die cut the three slatted circles from white card, using all three dies together so that I could back them with the coloured circles and then adhere to the main card background in a pleasing arrangement. The birds were stamped, coloured and die cut, then placed onto their circle backgrounds. A stamped sentiment from the set was added.

I love your quirky birds and what a great layout for them. Such a brilliant card!
ReplyDeleteNo naughty step for you Val - simply telling us what snippets you used is enough - although Di and I love to see your snippet piles.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card using up your slatted bits and those fabulously quirky birds!
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse shortly. I've dried the slide off! xxx
Great card Val, those quirky birds always make me smile whenever I see them.

The slatted dies are certainly very popular at the moment. Love how you've used them on this card, very creative.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Val! Those birds are wonderful aren't they. Mine are TH ones and are probably bigge. I like the size of these little fluff balls. Is it an optical illusion - I've read your description of how you used the slatted circles - I do love bloggers who say how they did stuff. To me, it looks as if the slatted circles are actually inset into plain ones - ie. within the card pblank, I bet if I look away it'll change! Never worry about not showing your snippets. So long as we know what they were then that's fine.

Love the addition of color paper for the backing, gives an interesting look.
