Talking of "pretty"…we have a wonderfully fun and pretty Challenge for you this week at Just Add Ink :-) Patrice has suggested we "Just Add Sequins"! So I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and see all the wonderful ideas the Team created to inspire you this week with this fun theme.
As for me…well, this was always going to be a shaker card - simply because I do love them as they are so much fun - both to make and to receive :-) I am sure that others can make better ones than I do too! For this one I wanted to keep it a little masculine for my nephew's upcoming birthday.
So I've used the fun Celebrate Today set and co-ordinating balloon framelits for the main image and to hide the Shaker Frames adhesive I cut a larger circle underneath the white layer using the circle framelits :-)
Card stock: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Gold Soiree
Inks: Bermuda Bay, Not Quite Navy
Stamps: Celebrate Today
Accessories: Big Shot, Balloon and Circle Framelits, Window Sheets, Coastal Cabana Twine, Non SU Blue, Orange and Silver sequins
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment to pop on over to Just Add Ink and see all the lovely creations the Team have made to inspire you and I am so looking forward to seeing what you will create with sequins this week too!
Happy stamping until next week,
Jan
Beautiful happy card! As far as I am concerned, nobody makes a better shaker card Jan! And this one is no exception. Love the DSP your have used, it looks like confetti. Fall for you, almost Spring for us. Slowly warming up.... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh you are so generous Louise :-) There are some really lovely ones by the Ladies this week at JAI tho! The DSP is the Gold Soiree. Glad things are finally warming up for you - Rusty won't know himself without snow and mud to run through :-) xx
