Hi Everyone
I hope your Sunday has been a good one.
We have had sunshine followed by big rain showers on repeat all day .. .. .. so I was very happily able to turn my back on the laundry basket and ignore it! Yay!!!
Instead I continued on my crafty tidy up campaign and when it came to my snippet mountain I decided to use a few of the black and white ones to create this:
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3859H" Corner Piece
White Embossing Powder
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and a few black and white snippets

White Embossing Powder
My Trusty Sewing Machine
and a few black and white snippets
Unable to stamp so that everything joined together beautifully, I stamped and embossed the image four times and cut each into squares to piece them together .. .. .. hence the join lines.
I hope you see the hearts that I see?
I am taking this over to:
Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge .. .. where we are encouraged to use our snippets rather than cutting into new sheets of card etc. (everything on my card was a snippet apart from the base card).
and
The Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is always "anything goes as long as it includes a Penny Black goodie" or there is an optional theme of "Monochrome" .. .. which I went for.
So that is me for today.

Before I go I would just like to say "thank you" for the lovely comments I received on the "retiform" card that I posted. Quite a few of you asked and emailed for a tutorial. There are lots on YouTube but I came up with another .. .. "much simpler" way to create the effect which I didn't see anywhere else. I am hoping to share that with everyone later this week.
In the meantime enjoy what is left of your weekend and continue to stay safe.

Wonderful card, so sshatriking. Hugs Anesha
A dramatic black and shite design, beautifully matched. I guess it would be virtually impossible to line up things with that wood-mounted stamp. So looking forward to your tutorial for the simplified retiform technique.
This looks stunning in the black and white Jules.
