Time for another new challenge in the Snippets Playground with some lovely prizes for a lucky winner. I'm not sure that the fussy cut images really count as Snippets because they were from a download and of course I had to use a whole piece of card in the printer but the background, parcels and tag were all cut from Snippets. For the background I trimmed a large snippet to slightly smaller than the card blank before cutting a circular aperture using a tattered edge die, followed by cutting another tattered circle off centre from the fall out circle. Next move was to emboss the larger circle (the one with the small aperture). I then added thin foam strips to the back of the backing piece and adhered it to the base card, finally dropping the small and embossed pieces back into the recess which adds interest to the white on white background layer.. I then fussy cut the two pre-coloured characters and die cut some parcels using toning snippets of card. A little tag, decorated with a tiny punched flower and there it is - my offering for the latest Snippets Playground challenge.
Embossing - folder which was a magazine gift from several years back
Circle dies - an unbranded set from Amazon
Parcels and Tag - from Tiny Tag set of dies Craft Addiction UK
Characters - Jellybean and Pipkin coloured downloads from Craft Addiction UK
Tiny Flower - punch from Stampin' Up (long retired)
A really lovely birthday card with the embossed background and cute characters.
