Another card for the playground
After a very hectic week, I am staggering back to blogland with a final entry for Di's snippet playground challenge.
Is this a bit bright for a Friday night?! I loved the colours in the topper, which is another from Nicecrane designs. You can find this on the colourful nature Collage sheet, which I love! I found a snippet of yellow card that matched the yellow Hammer and the blue snippet was the right shade of stormy sky. To dull down the yellow a little I over stamped it with the worn paint stamp from Inkylicious in Stormy sky DI. Two more snippets to mat and layer and a snippet of ribbon too. This is my third time in the playground in a fortnight - put the flag out Miss Di! Fingers crossed that I am in with a chance of winning that water drops stamp! Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteHi Sally! Well done on managing three entries - and with a really lovely card too. Now that was a great idea to dull down the background with DI - I learned yet another little trick this evening! Must check our Nicecrane too.

I shall try to remember to dull down a background with DI. Brilliant idea
ReplyDeleteThe bird image is a keeper that is for sure..It is amazing how the colours of your matting layers make the image pop!
Great idea for a layout complements the topper beautifully. Think there maybe a fight in the playground for the droplet stamp!

ReplyDeleteOMG...what a clever idea to showcase my little bird,,,,,,,,,,I am falling in lovw wqith your color combo,,,,and these dice cuts are perfect,,,You are Rock,,,,Sally.
ReplyDeleteSuper the way you've caught the colours with your matting & your toning down of the yellow is very effective. The softness of the pale yellow in the ribbon in terms of colour & texture adds to the whole too - makes me think of fluffy Easter Chicks (hmm).

That's a beautiful topper and I think you've accessorised it perfectly. I keep forgetting I bought that worn paint stamp at Donny last time. It works beautifully on your background.
