Double the Snippet

Both green papers are snippets--little bits of leftover papers.

Jules on Always With a Heart runs a cute challenge on Sundays to use up those scraps, or snippets as she calls them.

I stamped the iris and the sentiment with Black Soot Distress Ink, then used watercolor pencils to add color. I carefully cut out a portion of the iris and a leaf with an X-acto knife then tucked the green polka dot paper beneath them to make the flower pop a little bit.

I used a border punch on the side too.

I've gone back-and-forth on this one since I made it. Sometimes I like it...sometimes I just want to cut it up and start over.

Oh well. What's done is done right? =D

We're supposed to have record-breaking heat here today. I'm doing my part to prevent heatstroke by staying inside and creating STUFF!! ;-)
