Snippets Challenge # 529

 I'm off to the Snippets Playground to hand in my homework for the current challenge and as usual have made my own card blank and then used a selection of Snippets to build up the design.  I started with a fairly large snippet of white card which I embossed with a brick wall design, then a smaller white snippet to cut out the slatted arch which was backed with yet another white snippet which had been smooshed with some yellow ink.  The flowers were die cut from an even smaller white snippet and coloured using watercolour and a fine paintbrush. Rocky the dog is a digital download and was fussy cut from a sheet which I'd printed.  He was also coloured using ink pressed onto a ceramic tile from an inkpad and applied with a paintbrush (slightly watered down).  I do hope Rocky doesn't intend burying his bone amongst the flowers 🤣.  The final touch is a die cut sentiment using snippets of white and some purple to tone with the flower heads.
