Time to hand in my homework for another Snippets Playground challenge and this time I have a masculine birthday card to share. This card started with an A4 piece of cream card and a purchased 6" kraft card blank I pulled out a selection of random stamps, mainly from magazine gift collections which I've gathered over the years. I just kept stamping them here and there until I'd filled the entire sheet to my satisfaction and then smooshed a bit of Distress ink around. Once happy with the result, I cut a panel to fit onto the card blank, which of course has left me with a fair sized Snippet to keep for future projects. Now it was time to make a start on building up a design for the card using up some of my actual Snippets of card and remnants of pieces from a large script paper pad which I've had for many years and I still treasure every last scrap.
actual Snippets used were the strip behind the die cut man, a piece for the man. the two tiny 'flags' and also a strip for the horizontal layer which was backed with a snippet of kraft card.. This was a card I really enjoyed making and I will probably repeat the technique of using some of my vast collection of suitable stamps to make more backgrounds. Of course I still have a good supply of suitable snippets to use to build up more card designs 😉.
