Happy Mail

 A lovely friend sent me some happy mail recently which included a wonderful die cut frame set.  Of course I couldn't wait to have a play with them and built up a little scene with yet another perch for our favourite bunny.  I did a bit of smooshing on the white background piece and coloured the tree and fence which had been cut using white card.  I then die cut bunny and a couple of tiny flowers, adding a stamped sentiment.  A big thank you to my friend, ( you know who you are) - making this certainly made me smile 😊😊

Two Challenges

 This is a very small item for two challenges - an AT Coin featuring text and made using Snippets.  I'm taking it along to the Tag-along and ATC challenge and also, because it has used no less than three Snippets, I'm calling in at the Playground on the way.  

For anyone who doesn't know, an Artist Trading Coin is a small piece of Art a whole 2.5 inches across and they are usually swapped with others who make and collect them.  I'm sure you probably know that the Snippets Playground is where we share any pieces of work which have been made using at least one Snippet (usually small scraps left over from other projects and which we just can't bear to throw in the bin) 😉.

I cut the circle from a white Snippet, added some text in the background, followed by a bit of stencil work.  I then stamped and fussy cut a flower which I over stamped with smaller text, adding a tiny label.  That's it - a teeny weeny project for the Tag-along theme of 'add some text' which was also made entirely from Snippets where the theme is always 'use Snippets'.

Stencil - from my stash, not marked with a name
Flower - from Floral stamp set by Craft Addiction UK
