I have been having a sort out of some bits of paper I had sprayed with Adirondack colour washes and Crafty Notions creative colour sprays. I sprayed them about two years ago at least, and thought I really ought to use them! I found one bit that I particularly liked and covered the front of a card with it. I stamped some text (Inkylicious) and added a ribbon that I spritzed a little too. Then I stamped the image and the sentiment (Indigo Blu) with archival ink onto some scraps of silk art card and ink dusted them with some Adirondack inks.
This is very much a card made from snippets so I'm off to share it with Miss Di and the girls in the playground.(
Pixie's Crafty Snippets). The theme at
Allsorts this week is masculine cards, so I thought I would share it there too, as I am hoping it will go down well with a teenage fan of Harry Potter and Merlin.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Sally, love what you have done with this, thanks for joining us at Allsorts Tracy x
Ideal for that teenager I think. I've little experience with sprays & find them oh so intimidating....... That quote is really something & I love your black matting. Thank you too for your very special comment.
Hope you have a good week.

I'm glad you saved that background Sally. It's gorgeous and rather dramatic. You've made a fabulous card from it and I love that main image. As you say, very different for you but just goes to show how versatile your talents are.

This is amazing, such a beautiful card, love the bird and quote the colours are gorgeous too.
Just had a catch up on you other fabulous card, so very beautiful all of them.
Your snow pictures are gorgeous and as for your bird pictures, I'm green that such lovely birds visit your garden, we were going to take numbers for the RSPB, but all we had were seagulls gliding in the strong wind, AND I left plenty of feed out as usual :)
Love the colours on your card Sally. Thank you for joining us at Allsorts this week, good luck x
Hi Sal

Love the treatment you have given to your snippets. They have taken on a whole new lease of life.
Brilliant background.
Hope all is good at your end.
