Playing With Snippets

I spent a few hours with some friends this afternoon....and I was fascinated with the ice formations on Patsy's windows.  

I couldn't help but do something with that little heart from yesterday's post.

And once I came across this watercolor piece....I had an idea.

I did this watercolor project in response to one of my blooming shrubs along the side of the condo....you can read about it here: http://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-underside.html

I started by cutting up the watercolor. It's been sitting around for a while....and I thought it would be more useful in parts.  Then I stitched one of the swatches and the heart together on a shimmery pinky red piece of cardstock and finally stitched it onto a card.

Art doesn't have to be complicated.... sometimes sweet and simple is the way to go.

And the best thing is....I have several more cutout swatches to play with. 

This is going to be my birthday card for my sister Nancy....her birthday is on Valentine's Day! 

And how cute is this!  

I love playing with my snippets!

Maybe you will too!  Stay tuned.
