Hi Playmates!
There's a new challenge to play along with over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND hosted by Miss Di for the next fortnight.
Here's my homework - a Ruby Wedding Anniversary card using the eclipse technique.
 |
| 5.75" square card base |
 |
| A close up of the eclipse technique |
 |
| My white snippets |
In the Playground, we've all been enjoying the rounds of conkers without the interference of health & safety, and so far, apart from a few rapped knuckles, there have been no serious injuries! Vicky even taped marshmallows to her hands to prevent rapped knuckles! It's been fun meeting up in the treehouse afterwards for hot chocolate. Current champion is Lesley G - who appears to have had some advice from Miss Di on how to harden her best conker with vinegar! Hmmm!
Card materials:
- Heffy Doodle Stitched Square dies (for the 2 main panels)
- Julie Hickey number and ordinal dies (for the eclipse technique)
- White card snippets (for die cutting)
- Aall & Create #565 Wildflower stamp set, stamped in SU Sahara Sand ink onto main panel.
- Aall & Create #896 Forget Me Not stamp set. My cut-down heart was stamped over the clock image using SU Rich Razzleberry ink. I then stamped the heart again onto copy paper, cut it out and glued it over the top.
PS: Meet you at the Snippets Playground gates on Hallowe'en - Thursday, 31st Oct - to go trick or treating in the neighbourhood. Costumes on and candy bags at the ready!
Nice eclipse card!
ReplyDeleteLovely Anniversary card!
That's really effective Sarn, both the combination of stamps which work well together in the different colours and the eclipse technique numbers.

Wow! This is just beautiful work Sarn, such a romantic feel, with the added dimension of the heart and eclipse, just gorgeous. I’ve had a tooth extraction, so I’ll have to step down from the conker competition, as I don’t want to risk hitting myself in the face 🙄. Plus I may have had an unfair advantage 😂😉xxx
ReplyDeleteP.s. healing nicely though 😷
DeleteThat's a brilliant take on the eclipse technique - very clever layout idea and great choice of stamps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me about the tip for conkers!!
ReplyDeleteYour eclipse card is glorious, Sarn - Happy Snippet Day

Your eclipse technique looks so pretty on this great card. I'm going to have to look up conkers because this is new to me but it sounds like fun until the knuckles get scuffed! LOL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card and stamps, love the eclipse technique.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Sarn! The eclipse technique was an inspired choice to make a special occasion card even more special. Hugs, Vicky xxx
ReplyDeletePS. I don't really recommend marshmallows taped over the knuckles unless you're a fan of mega stickiness!
So beautiful Sarn, I love your design.
