Hi there, I’m joining three of my favourite challenges today,
My first card uses leftover strips of SU designer series paper.
I just love this wood /tile/fabric effect paper, and I’ve had an old SU set out, Plentiful Plants.
I decided to layer it all on the wonk, and I did remember to take a photo of some of the snippets 😉,
but forgot to add some pearls before I took the pics 🙄. I do like to add embellishments,
it’s an added touch of luxury, and most will happily pass the postage test,
although I do sometimes add a protective scrap for protection.
I have a new never before used die from Gummiapan….very simple but so effective as a “floor”.
I thought it would be perfect for some other previously stamped&cut pots and plants.
I blended some ink on it to make the floor stand out. It’s one of those dies that just cuts into the card.
A simple sentiment white embossed on black keeps the cas layout.
Have a good weekend, whatever you are doing.

Great use of those snippets on the first card and I love your little pots and the CAS design of your second card xx
ReplyDeleteTwo great card designs. The strips of DSP are just right to show off that plant in a pot and the 'floor' die is certainly very effective on the second one.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a very useful die for all sorts of grounding. Love how you’ve used it in this card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. And with my GD hat on - thanks for sharing at Allsorts too. Xxx
2 fabulous makes. Love how you've used all those snippets for a cool background. And for card 2, that die is brilliant - what a great card xxx

Both designs are very nice, Lesley, and perfect for showcasing your pretty plants! The wonk is excellent for using snippets and I also love that CAS design and how the die leaves a perfect "ground" with loads of texture! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
