Sarn's Snippets!

Hi Playmates

It's Sunday morning and time for a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND where Miss Di is in charge for the next fortnight - so skip over there to find out what lovely prize she is offering, and get all the details on how to enter. We're back to normal - no theme this time - just make anything you like with your snippets.

I have not one, but TWO pieces of homework to share with you today! The first is a little 3" x 3" card and the other piece, further down the post, is an ATC. They both use cute and quirky little birds from my recently acquired Aall & Create stamp set: #464 "Strange Birds".

Aall & Create bird stamped onto a gelli print snippet then cut out
and glued on to the flower stem.

Green snippet used for the flower stems.

Next up is the ATC:

ATC measuring 2.5" x 3.5"

The ATC was created with blue and orange snippets, trimmed to the usual ATC size. I simply brushed Black Soot DI through a stencil to create a leafy branch. The bird was stamped onto a gelli print snippet, then I added a bit of detailing with black and white pens. I cut the bird out with scissors and glued him onto the stencilled branch!

I added the sentiment from the same stamp set, then brushed the edges of the blue piece of card with Black Soot DI before mounting it onto the orange snippet.

MATERIALS:

• Funky Fossil stencil 'Meadow Flowers' for the leafy branches.
• Aall & Create 'Strange Birds' #464 stamp set
• Blue and orange snippets by Stampin' Up! & beak coloured with a blue pen.
  
• Bird stamped onto a gelli print snippet
