Morning readers,
You can certainly tell it's holiday season! Yesterday saw us meeting up with the Surrogate family, for an Indian meal, to celebrate both Christmas AND SD#1's birthday - the gang was all there and it was a lovely evening but, oh, those calories! Thank heavens it was BYO too!
I've a make to share with you today ... uses lots of those pesky snippets too
 |
| My ATC, measuring just 3½" x 2½" |
Materials used:
- ATC blank
- Snippets of card in navy, purple and white
- I used a makeup brush to apply Spectrum Noir crushed velvet ink to my larger white snippet, leaving the central area as a lighter cover of colour - to add interest
- Next I ran my my inked panel through my Big Shot inside a Cuttlebug "swiss dots" embossing folder
- I cut a narrow panel of purple and matted on a blue panel
- Inkadinkado floral image (from 60-30164) stamped on to my smaller white snippet using the crushed velvet ink and, whilst wet, sprinkled with WOW! clear superfine embossing powder and heat set
- I mixed the B&M light purple pearl paint with water and added to the hopper of my line paint pen before doodling a border around the image panel and matting on purple card, before attaching to my ATC using sticky dots
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
- The Color Hues Challenge - challenge No. 100 - BLUE AND PURPLE
- Can You Handle The Pressure - Dec 14th challenge - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) POINSETTIAS
- Art Impressions - challenge No. 393 - TEENY TINY THINGS
- Snippets Playground - challenge No. 495 - USE SNIPPETS

Cone flowers are a favourite of mine and this is a really nice stamp. Great work adding the pearly border - the line pen gizmo is a new one to me - looks like a handy tool though.
Like Val above, coneflowers are a favourite of mine too. It’s a lovely ATC in a nice colour combo.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for coffee & a croissant shortly. Xxx
Me three - I too love coneflowers! Amazing how much detail and work can go into an ATC - LOVE the purples!
Hugs

Love echinaceas too Kathy but sadly so do the slugs in my garden!! Super ATC, thanks for sharing at Color Hues and Merry Christmas. :)
This is lovely … I’m another lover of coneflowers and I love all the shades of purple on this xx
This is a beautifully bright ATC Kathy and in your signature colour and such a pretty Swiss Dots embossed background to the lovely coneflower. x
