I have a very quick share for you this evening, another one for Di's Crafty Snippet Playground, and it's this:
I think I've mentioned it often enough before, I love all the little feathered friends that visit my garden. Currently I've noticed two blue tits who come regularly to the feeder and they have reminded me that I had this tucked away in my stash.
It's only been there for nigh on two years! It was one of the pieces I coloured whilst on a holiday to Wales - it was put away on my return and since then forgotten. Mainly because, as I remember, I couldn't decide what would be the best way to use it.
Well, finally, I have found a use for this little chap.
Materials used:
a cream card base 4.5" square from Ocean of Crafts
the blue tit stamped and coloured with AquaMarkers and watercolour pencils on watercolour paper
a mid-blue cardstock (for matting)
Sheena Douglass A Little Bit Sketchy 2, Faith, stamp set (for bird) and A Little Bit Sketchy Poppies and Daisies (for greeting)
ProMarkers Caramel and Denim Blue (for edging)
Tim Holtz DI, Brushed Corduroy for the greeting
I have a wee plan. It is to create packs of cards to give as gifts to family and friends. Hence, they have to be quick, easy and not too dimensional, oh and not too expensive either. So not only will it be a good use of all those snippets and toppers I have amassed, but they would all have a wee stock of cards to dig into as and when needed. Well, that's the plan ... now, how many will I need to make?!?!
Having said that ... I'd better get on. But first, a nice cuppa is in order, methinks :)
I hope you are all well and looking forward to an enjoyable weekend. I'll be checking out what Barbara Gray is up to in her workshop tomorrow ... I believe she is bringing the gelli mat to the classroom so that should be interesting.
Take care and happy crafting,

Elizabeth, this is gorgeous - beautiful water colouring and your idea for using snippets up when making notelets is great!
The blue tits here are checking out the nest box - although during the Winter we had quite a little flock sleeping in there (aw) - so there's likely to be some Spring cleaning needed! Such pretty little birds and you did this one proud!
Hugs, Di xx
