Busy morning today. I did my long ride today (about 25 miles) this morning. 15.3 mph, not my best time but not bad for early in the riding season. Tacos for lunch....yummy....now a little relaxing before some afternoon tennis practice with Hatsumi and Grace.
I decided to participate in the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. I really like the sketch and thought I could finally use the Snow Dudes stamp set that I purchased some time ago and have been dying to use, even though winter is long gone for us!!! Also, I realized that I could use a few more Paper Smooches stamp sets so I took this opportunity to buy a few more....hopefully they will arrive soon! Something to look forward to ;) I finished this card a few days ago, but just now having time to post it.
I thought this sketch is just perfect for a shaker card. I started off with using an embossing folder to dry emboss the light blue card stock. I then die cut a large circle. I used my dies to cut out a hillside border for my snow bank. I colored the snow couple with my Copic makers, and highlighted them with a bit of Wink of Stella. I stamped some snowflakes in the circle so if the shaker elements are not seen, there will be some light blue snowflakes in the background. I made my own shaker elements with glitter paper and a heart punch, instead of using sequins---really like this effect, almost better than sequins!
Here's a close up, where you can really see the embossed background and the shaker elements!
I really like how the card turned out...it's super cute. Thanks Paper Smooches for the inspiration!
