Lots of square snippets

This week I got two lovely parcels - an early birthday present of some stitched square and rectangle (at last) and yet more dragonfly dies, and a wonderful parcel of crafting goodies from a very generous Facebook friend, one item of which was this super "Good luck" die. Naturally I had to have a play right away.


I had a good rummage through my snippets box and picked out 10 different scraps of patterned paper (you might recognise some of them as left overs from a card I posted yesterday) and cut them all with a square die then arranged them diagonally over my card and topped with the sentiment and dragonflies, all cut in black.

I am playing along with
Pixie's Snippets Playground weeks 291-292
Less is More - No stamps
Dies R Us - Sentiment as focus

Saw this over at the Snippet's Playground, Jane, and had to come for a closer look. It's fantastic! I love how the whole background looks 'quilted' and your paper choices are perfect.

Great card for the snippets challenge and how interesting to see the squares set on the diagonal - clever idea and something a bit different.

Wonderful use of snippets Jane! As Val says, squares on the diagonal are different and a great look as well!

You asked about Oxides and what makes them different:

It's a bit of the reaction as they're a 'mix of water-reactive dye and pigment ink fusion' - according to Ranger who make them. That means they keep their richness whereas the normal Distress inks tend to look quite watery by comparison. Also, they're so smooth - and I believe they stamp sentiments perfectly (not tried that one yet).

Well done on being first into the Playground - bet you were sitting in the shrubbery waiting for Parsnip to unlock the gates! :)
