Anything but Christmas

 Happy New Year everyone!

I hope it's peaceful and happy with plenty of time to do what you love. 

I've had a bit of time for crafting so here is my first Snippets card for this year. 

The challenge at the Snippets Playground this time is 'Anything but Christmas' and to use snippets, of course. I'm very happy to leave wintry cards behind for a bit and I've purposely gone spring/summery with these flowers. 

I'm sure I've seen this sort of idea on a card before but I don't remember where and I didn't look up any inspiration. I just started with half an idea, as usual!

The flowers are Julie Hickey, leaves assorted from an old set all coloured with watercolour pencils. The envelope is also made from a snippets. Everything is cut out and arranged on top.

I wanted to add a greeting popping up out of the flowers but wherever I put it, it was covering something so I'm still thinking on that one. Perhaps I should have started with that and gone from there?

I'm hopping over to the Snippets Playground where we are basking in the success of our Nativity play. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't, there are bound to be a few hiccups!

The flowers are made from white snippets, the envelope from DP snippets and the backing was a new sheet but very old so I count that as a win!

Do join in for a play as there is a very special prize on offer this time. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day x
