Happy Chick Designs: Shaker Card

Tuesday, March 10, 2015

I am using Fresh Brewed Designs 'Java Jill Juggles' and sentiment on this Confetti inspired card. I am using my sequins and microbeads as confetti today. :)

I created this card with my Labels 8 dies and used almost the whole set. I colored Java Jill up with my Prismacolor pencils and matted her with some paper from my stash. I added Martha Stewart microbeads and sequins in different colors (from Joann's) to create the confetti.

I cut out the sentiment and added a fishtail free hand. I just adhered it under the frame so it has dimension. It think I added a bit too much goodness on the inside of my card but I'd rather have too much than not enough.

Magical Birthday

This is my last post as a guest designer over at the Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

The challenge this fortnight is to use the recipe Wood, Dots, and Twine.

This is another first for me. The Shaker Card. Took a little more time and effort than I was expecting but I guess I need more practice. Everything takes longer when it's your first time, right? :)

I used this adorable 'Pure Magic' stamp set by Sugar Pea Designs stamped up in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Simon 120 lb card stock. I colored him up with a combo of Copic markers (skin, hair and everything yellow) and Prismacolor pencils (clothing and rabbit).

I used Stampin' Up's Basic Gray as my mat embossing with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. The veneer stars are from Studio Calico. The twine is Martha Stewart. The star confetti was a RAK gift and the micro beads are Martha Stewart (form Terri).
