Today, we have a birthday card - with the idea of using up scraps/snippets for the Snippets Playground Challenge #446 as the starting inspiration.
On sorting through my snippets, I did notice some lovely primary colours and a plan started forming in my head.
I cut up some strips, and embossed them in the ProvoCraft 'happy birthday' embossing folder. I then die cut some 'happy birthday' sentiments from HoneyBee 'itty bitty buzzwords', stamped 'Happy' directly onto the front of the card and raised the 'birthday' on foam dots.
It looked a bit 'unfinished' so I scoured my embellishments and came across these great puffy sticker balloons. This is the last of my supply and I hope I can find some more.
This is a new technique for me, and I think I like it!

ReplyDeleteThanks for coming submitting homework to the Snippets Playground. Once you've finished sliding down the slide, come up to the Treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate. xxx
