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

What a great way to use snippets. Your design looks fantastic Jane. I'll certainly be using this idea. Barbxx
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, awesome use of bits of paper.
What a great use for those snippets and your design looks AWESOME!! Great job! Thanks so much for playing in our ‘Die Cut Sentiment as Focus’ challenge at Dies R Us! Please come back again soon!

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! :)

Love this Jane! It is really refreshing to see patterned papers being used in a CAS way and you have really combined some beautiful papers here. The diagonal placement is really eye-catching too. Thanks so much for popping this in at Less is More xx
