Sunday Snippets - What's in Sarn's Satchel this week?

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:

Landscape C6 card (opening on the right hand side)

Card and matching envelope.

MATERIALS:

• Snippet of pink patterned paper (which was part of a magazine gift) glued to a white card snippet for sturdiness, then die cut with Heffy Doodle Stitched Rectangle dies. I used a further snippet of the same paper to decorate the envelope.
• Heffy Doodle "Friend" sentiment die, cut from a white snippet.
• Ancient Marianne flourish die cut from a white snippet.
• Three little flowers punched out of a white snippet with a discontinued SU flower punch.
• Julie Hickey Glossies for flower centres, plus a few more added just because!

In my satchel, along with my homework, I've got a tub of Bournville drinking chocolate for making hot chocolate up in the treehouse, plus some chocolate Digestive biscuits in both milk and dark chocolate varieties! Take your pick - personally I love the dark chocolate biccies! Oh, and don't tell Miss Di, but I've been smuggling in some hooch and stashing it around the treehouse ready for the Christmas Party! Wink, wink! 

Sunday Snippets - Whimsical Fairies!

Hi there Playmates!

Bonfire night in the Snippets Playground went well and everyone had a good time keeping warm by the bonfire, eating jacket potatoes and slurping from mugs of soup. 

Today I have a whimsical card made after experimenting with Distress Oxide inks on a gelli plate.

INFO:

• Blue and Orange Distress Oxide pads swiped on circular gelli plate then brayered to blend.
• A piece of packaging, that had been dry embossed with a cog embossing folder, was then dabbed lightly on top of the gelli plate to add an impression into the ink. I then spritzed the gelli plate with water before pulling a print using 300gsm white card.
• Once the print was dry, I stamped various Lavinia stamps over it using VFC Twilight ink before die cutting with stitched circle dies by The Works. Lavinia stamps used: Flower Fairy; Butterflies and one of the Fairy Foragers. The Believe word is from a Tracy Evans set for Aall & Create.
• Also cut a mat for the stitched circle using a Heffy Doodle Circle Frames die and SU Misty Moonlight card.
• SU Misty Moonlight ink was brushed onto the card front in opposing corners using a craft "make-up" brush and a TCW stencil (#424 Modern Spirals).

Why not take a look at your snippets pile, pull out a few bits and see what you can make? Then come over to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND - there's a lovely prize on offer - or you can just play for fun.
