Snippets

Wow, where has this week disappeared to. I can't believe that it's Thursday evening already. The other day I had the Cricut out to cut some letters for another card, and while it was out I thought that I would cut out some cameo ladies from some black card scraps that I had sitting on my worktop. The plan was to make some ATC's, which I did. However the first lady that I cut was slightly too large so I discarded her, then when I found her sitting on my worktop earlier today I thought she looked a bit lonely, so I found a piece of backing paper to use and some white scraps to cut out a couple of circles. With a little rummaging in my stash and a little bit of distress ink around the edges, this is what I came up with. I'm off now to visit Pixies Snippets Playground as all that I used came out of the scraps boxes.



Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Beautiful card, Sue, it's got a real vintage feel. I love how you've added the pearls for the necklace. I'm glad you didn't discard this lovely lady completely! xx

Love this Sue. The design paper has just the right vintage look to go with the black cameo cut out. The pearls just finish it nicely. I don't know where time is disappearing too either. I di look under the mat but not there! hugs Mrs A.
