The Snippets Playground is celebrating its 500th Challenge this fortnight and there is a theme this time of 'Celebration'. My youngest nephew celebrates his birthday next week, so I've made a card for him using snippets so I can join in the challenge.
A bought this Sizzix 'Artsy Leaves' set of dies last weekend. When I saw them for sale for half price, I knew they had to come home with me. I found a few snippets of textured brown paper in various shades and a snippet of matt gold card which came from the scrap store many years ago. I die cut several leaves and chose five to attach to a piece of pale brown mottled card. I used the matt gold card for the 'veins'. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Pinecone'.
I remembered to take a photo of the snippets I used. 😇
I am joining in the following challenges:
Smashing make and a great way to deploy both new stash AND snippets

Finding that lovely die set at half price was really lucky - it's a favourite of mine and you've made great use of it with your brown and gold snippets for this celebration card.
ReplyDeleteYour new leaf dies are beautiful Liz, always good to get a bargain! The card is fabulous, love the design and the colours with the touches of gold.

A great card and another die set for my 'Wish List' as it's perfect for those tricky masculine cards!
