Hello!
First of all, I must thank those who responded to my previous post. You all are so kind and encouraging and I really appreciate your wonderful responses. You all are helping me to gain a new perspective. I also appreciate your wonderful comments about the cards I shared.
Crafty friends are the best!💖
We had one day left of Winter Break and I was able to make the most of it! Both my girls had activities to attend today, so I had time to create. Yes! And I was able to make a couple of cards.
I used stamps from a newer company called Hello Bluebird. They've been around a few years, but I just purchased from them late last year. The images remind me a bit of Lawn Fawn and you all know how much I love Lawn Fawn.
This card got a revamp in that I made it into a shaker card! I built up the frame by cutting several of them and gluing them together. The top frame is cut from glitter paper. The Sending sentiment is blended with Distress inks and then I spritzed it with some perfect pearls. I also built it up with a couple of layers. The shaker mix is a mix of a few things. One is a Hey Beautiful sequin mix from Little Things with Lucy's Cards. I added some snowflake sequins I picked up at the Target Dollar Spot as well as some silvery bits I got from Michaels (Recollections brand). The images are colored with Copics.
I pretty much followed the idea of Gemma. I switched the bunny and the penguin sitting on the snowbank though. I also cut the snow banks from cardstock, added Score Tape and sprinkled CTMH's Prisma Glitter to make it extra sparkly. I also added the scallop frame that is from a Hello Bluebird die set called Gallery Frame Die #2. The pond is blended with Tumbled Glass distress ink and I added a bit of Pumice Stone along the banks. Inside is where I put the sentiment as there really isn't room on the outside.
Well, it's back to reality tomorrow. I hope I am able to find more time to create in the new year.
Until next time,
Crafty Hugs to you!
