Snippets Playground Challenge #528

 I'm skipping along to the Snippets Playground on this lovely sunny day to hand in my homework for the challenge.  For my card this time I pulled out some white snippets and also some pearl pieces in a lovely shade of blue although I'm not sure the pearlescent finish will actually show up on the screen.  I started with a white snippet which needed a slight trim to fit the onto the card blank and I used the slatted arch die to cut the aperture in the centre.  I used yet another snippet, this time a piece of a geli print to use as a background to show through the slats.  Some light stencilling was added diagonally across the white layer for added interest and this was then adhered to the card blank using some quite thin foam strips.  The arched shape was then dropped into the aperture and the die cut birds put in place.  I felt that this card needed something a bit more than a single sentiment so I composed one on the computer and printed it in a toning blue rather than introducing black.  Some great items in the prize as always so why not search through your Snippets and have a go 😉
