Snippets (maybe)


Hello Peeps, I've a card to share for the new Snippets Playground challenge, it's a bit tenuous as to use of snippets, only Misses Di and Sarn can decide or if I'm headed for the naughty corner.

AALL and Create have some beautiful Washi Tapes and there will be special collections launching on Create and Craft at 6pm and shows again tomorrow. The DT have all been busy making cards showcasing how it's possible to create the focal element of a card using just the tapes. Patterns repeat about every meter and basically you tear off strips and match them up, you do end up with quite a few oddments (snippets?) but with perseverance you can use those to create yet another card as I have done above (these were all left over from the original one I made using that design). The random torn edges are all part of the technique to give a less formal feel.

The easel card inner circle. was a leftover from another project and the Butterfly and words stamped onto offcuts. 

Hope everyone has had a good Easter and even saw a little bit of sunshine.

Love how this turned out Brenda and I would definitely think your washi tape remnants are snippets. What a great easel design!

Super circular easel card using up your pretty Washi tape snippets and other oddments. They definitely qualify.

Thanks for coming to play at the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse later. I noticed some of the other girls sharing their Easter treats with you. xxx

That's some lovely washi and I've never seen it used that way, what a great look. We had a glimpse of the sun, so much so that the Easter bunny left a trail for Mollie Rose!! xx

This is beautiful. I love how you have used the butterfly to support the easel xx

Ciao Brenda, che meravigliosa Easel card!!! Il washi tape che hai usato è davvero splendido e mi piace molto come hai usato le strisce avanzate per costruire il topper! Anche il cerchio interno con la goffratura e la farfalla sono stupendi!
Una bellissima ispirazione!
Stasera finalmente il vento ha smesso di soffiare e distruggere tutto. Forse domani ci sarà finalmente il sole. Ho dovuto aggiustare la serra ma per fortuna non ci sono stati troppi danni.
Un abbraccio, buona settimana!

This is superb Brenda, I absolutely love it!! Rather stupidly I have just placed an A&C order for some BUNNY25 sale goodies about half an hour ago and I totally forgot to look at Washi tapes!! This is absolutely gorgeous and I love the circular easel card.

SO clever to use the washi left overs in this way Brenda! Love your circular easel design too and the butterfly makes a very pretty 'doorstop'!

The golden girls and I had some great walks over the weekend and NO JACKET REQUIRED - can you believe it!! Vicky x

This easel card is a wonderful display of beautiful snippets of washi tape and so very creative too. I love how the card stays open with the butterfly wing and the bottom panel is a perfect compliment with it's pale design.

Aquarius said...

This is certainly some very useful washi tape if you can build a lovely image using torn snippets. A very pretty result and something a bit different

KraftyKoolKat said...

This is so beautiful Brenda, you would never know it is left over washi tape. I was just thinking what a gorgeous stamp and how well you had coloured the image.

This is a lovely technique and great way to create a pretty card. I love the fact that it is a circle easel shape too.

After reading the description of how you did it, I had to have another luck, it's a very clever effect. Love the embossed base and butterfly too.

Di said...

Hi there B!! I did just have a giggle, spotted the fabby washi on your top card and thought 'I NEED that' and of course I've had it and used it for ages. SO pretty. Loving your second card as well of course and, in my (failing apparently so surgery is looming rapidly) eyes. you're fully eligible for the challenge.

Hugs

Lisa said...

What a clever use of snippets! Your card design showcases the versatility of Washi Tapes beautifully. The random torn edges add a charming touch, and repurposing leftover pieces demonstrates creative resourcefulness. Well done on this delightful creation!
