Snippets Playground Challenge # 526

 I'm afraid I've had to raid my file of unpublished cards to take along to the Playground for the current challenge because, believe it or not, I haven't managed to make any cards for a couple of weeks due to feeling decidedly 'under the weather'.  This is a floral offering which I made some time ago although I do know that it used up quite a good selection of coloured snippets. I started by die cutting a slatted circle into a fairly large white snippet to fit the card blank and backed this with a small snippet of green.  The flowers and leaves were all cut from various coloured snippets and the sentiment was snipped from a sheet which I'd composed and printed on the computer.

Sadly it appears that numbers of entries into this challenge (and I suspect some others too) are dwindling, so why not raid your snippets mountains to see if you can make something to use them up. Miss Di and Sarn work hard to keep the Playground active and deserve our support. Don't forget it's somewhere where the sun always shines.  ☺️☺️


Slatted Circle - dies from Craft Addiction UK
Floral Spray - unbranded die from Amazon
Sentiment - produced using MS Word

  4. LOVELY floral card using one of your fab slatted dies too. Thank you for your loyal support and for the Snippets Playground plug in this post.

    Darnell has come back to play and has illicit goodies to share behind the bike sheds. Just sayin’!!!

    Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse (or behind the bike sheds!). xxx

  6. I hope you feel better soon, Val. Your snippets card is so pretty and I'm glad you shared it in the Playground! You gave Di and Sarn a well-deserved plug and I must have been on your wave-length because I just popped over to see everyone with a little wodka to share. Might make you feel better? Maybe with cranberry juice? Orange juice? Straight up with an olive? I made myself thirsty! Hugs, Darnell
