A card today using recycling and snippets. I received a small gift from Sarn a little while ago and it was wrapped in fabulous paper she had stamped and stencilled. It was too beautiful to throw away, so yesterday I finally got round to using it as a background on a card. Sarn also included a couple of die cuts, including this butterfly, which I suspect was originally a snippet.
I used a snippet of lilac card to die cut a frame using two dies from Lisa Hortons's 'Scallop Layered Rectangle' set. I carefully ironed the backing paper and cut it to fit behind the frame. I die cut a Memory Box 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' from the 'waste' left over from the centre of the frame and layered the butterfly on top . To finish off my card I used another lilac snippet for the sentiment mat and I added a few turquoise gems to the butterfly and the sentiment panel.
I am joining in the following challenges:
This is beautiful! Sarn will love what you did with the paper, I'm sure. Over here: also hot, so keep it cool!

Brilliant that you've used the wrapping paper and die that came from Sarn. I was lucky enough to receive something similar but haven't got around to using it yet. I did very much enjoy the contents of the package though 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the contents of the package too. 🤣
DeleteSarn's wrap paper is fabulous, well done using it as background of this card!! All the snippets go so well together!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely delighted that you have used your gift packaging for this pretty card Liz. You're right . . . the die cuts were snippets . . . naturally! You have made my day.
