Hi peeps - I am just popping by to share my very first "Crafty Snippet" !
In case you're wondering what that is - do take a peek at Jules' beautiful challenge blog Always With a Heart which I discovered recently. The challenges involve using up snippets of paper, ribbon, or whatever you have in your mountain of leftover stash - well, we crafters can never throw anything away - right?!
It was a bit scary, not using colouring pens, but I enjoyed the challenge and the re-discovery of long-forgotten bits and pieces! So, here is my (very simple) card!
The Hydrangea was part of an Anna Griffin die-cut decoupage sheet which is about 8 or 9 years old. I curved the layers slightly and applied silicone glue, to give a bit of depth.
The vintage text paper is a leftover from a very old 12x12" pad - name unknown! Torn and distressed around the edges with Vintage Photo DI.
Sentiment - Hot off the Press, inked with Timber Brown Staz-on.
Two pieces of blue ribbon leftovers.

Hi Sylvia,
Your card is stunning! Beautifully decoupaged...I love Anna Griffin designs. And your card layout is fabulous!
Hi Sylvia
This is amazing . .. I love everything about it!!!
The manuscript paper (always a favourite with me), the beautiful decoupaged flower and your ribbon angled across .. .. all just perfect.
Thank you so much for joining me in the battle to stop the snippets taking over the craft space.
Love Jules xx
p.s. Feel free to use pens etc if you want to .. .. I just ban them from my makes so that I use up more of those snippets!!!
A fabulous card with such stunning papers.
I love the decoupage flower.
