Hi All,
Hope your week is going well. This is my latest card, featuring a technique where you stamp an image on one side of vellum, flip it over and stamp and heat emboss on the other side. I stamped flowers and leaves on one side, and white-embossed a butterfly on the other. For the frame around the vellum, I used two sizes of a stitched-label die on a snippet of brown card.
For the background, I die-cut 2-inch squares of skyblue and salmon colored snippets and create the quilt patch. (As an aside, I really appreciate the tight fit I got by die-cutting rather than just using the paper trimmer, where it never seems to line up perfectly.) The sentiment is cut from another of the salmon-colored snippets. A few flower-shaped sequins finish the card.

Really delightful snippets card Sandy. Good tip about how to get a close fit on the squares.
