Sparkle and Shine Challenge/Freshly Made Sketches ~ Shaker Card using Paper Smooches!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share the Card that I've made for the Sparkle and Shine #12 Challenge along with the Freshly Made Sketches #200 Challenge!! I've used the Paper Smooches Best Buds Stamp Set, along with the Paper Smooches Smarty Pants Stamp Set and the Paper Smooches Borders 2 Die Set!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Shaker Card using the Best Buds Large Flower Jar Image as my Shaker Element Base!! I Stamped and Embossed the Image onto the Distress Water Color Paper and then cut around the Inside of the Jar!! I used my Black Soot Distress Marker to color around the Edge!! I then Stamped and Embossed the Image 2 more Times!! You could skip this Step except I wanted the Dimension for my Design!! I then Fussy Cut around the Images and I wanted to get rid of all of the Extra Background I could!! I use my Distress Inks to Water Color the Images and then went around all of the Edges with a Black Soot Distress Marker to finish everything off!! I just LOVE the Colors!! I added some Acetate to the Backside of the Card Front Panel and then added my Foam Tape to create a Place to house my Sequins, Mini Confetti and Beads!! I just LOVE all those Little Bits of Sparkle and Shine!! I added a Jar Image to back the Shaker that I Water Colored using Black Soot Distress Ink!! I adhered the other two Jar Images on top of each other to create a FUN Layered Design but without too much bulk as I just layered them together using some really thin Foam!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Neat Paper Layered Border at the Top of my Card and after I Die Cut 3 of the Notebook Edges I Stitched them together with my Sewing Machine!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment onto some Notebook Patterned Paper and added a Few Black Gems for my Flower Centers and my Card was done!!
