The ferns were done and I went to stamp a sentiment on the top right of the card and........ disaster! I dropped a dark green inkpad - PLOP! - face down on top of the card. There was a HUGE gash of green across the top.
I was just about to throw the whole thing away when I realised that if I cut it partway up to make an A6 landscape card with a side fold, the ferns would all still be intact and there would be only a tiny bit of the green splodge showing. And a quick rummage in my snippets box provided just the right snippets to stamp the sentiment and layer it up to cover the splodge.
So I am also joining in with the latest Snippets Playground challenge, with my new motto - SNIPPETS SAVE CARDS!

You've been busy making dome fab cards recently, loved the diet one, oh so true!
My heart sank for you when I read about the escapee ink pad. Totally something that happens to me all the time. Fabulous save though!

AS Cara says - fabulous save Jane! I's always good to sit back and ponder before ditching a 'plopped upon' card isn't it :) Wonderful stamping there too!
