A special card for my Sister today.
My plan was a Picture in Picture effect….
I used some old SU paper as my painted landscape.
Gummiapan’s artist dies come in two sizes, perfect for what I had planned.
I used double layers for depth and strength, some mounted on tiny foam pads.
The easel was cut from wood effect paper, and the grass from scraps of the background paper.
Colour added to the tools with marker pens , winked for sparkle. (Wink of Stella)
Seam binding ribbon along the bottom, added texture and filled the space of the 5” x 7” card base,
as the background paper was only “6 x 6”.
Here’s some of the Snippets used, so I can go and play at the Snippets Playground #477 with this card,
and it’s the first time the Artist sets have come out to play,
so I’m entering the Never Before Used Schtuff (NBUS) Challenge #61
Enjoy your day!
