Hello everyone… I hope you all had a wonderful International Mother’s Day on past weekend. My family spoiled me with my favorite things to do: going to nursery to pick up some flowers and grabbed lunch at Chick-fil-A drive through. It was fun and most of all, we spent a day as family.
I would like to share this clean-and-simple shaker card with you all. Spring is my inspiration as you can see here…
I used one of the gorgeous Graciellie Design floral digital stamp sets. This flower is from the Friends Like You Digital Stamp Set. I printed the flower on a watercolor paper with inkjet printer, I dried the printed image and then colored it using Pearlescents Watercolor paint and waterbrush. After coloring, I dried it with craft heater and then fussy cut the flower with micro-tip scissors.
I cut out a blue cardstock using one of the Divinity Designs – Double-Stitched Circle Dies for the shaker background. I covered the circle window with a piece of acetate that I cut out of old plastic box and then I added it on the card panel with Scor-Tape. I added fun foam all around it with the same tape, too.
I added the jumbo glitter and sequins in the middle of the white card base. I removed the paper of the double sided tape on the blue shaker background and then I added it on top of the card. I press firmly to make sure it adhered well.
I added the watercolored flower on the card with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive Glue. I put couple stamping blocks on top of the flower to hold it down while the glue drying.
I used a A Jillian Vance Design retired stamp set, Simply Noted: Damask for the sentiment. I stamped it on a white cardstock with Catherine Pooler Ink Pad – Something Borrowed. I fussy cut around the word and I added the sentiment on the card with same adhesive glue.
I hope this card brings smiles on your face today… Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have wonderful day!
