I've been on a shaker card kick lately and decided to incorporate one into this week's sketch. Inspiration came from Pretty Pink Posh's sequin shaker blog hop, today's sketch, and Splitcoast's Featured Stamper Challenge. I had the idea to use the jar as my shaker, and had fun working on making it. I used my PTI die and Friendship Jar stamp set and paired it with an old Stampendous stamp (I'm not sure that it's ever seen ink before!). I did a little easy masking around the flowers and colored both the flowers and the inside of the jar with my Copics. A few pearls, some rhinestones and Stickles finished things off. I have used a lot of pink in my cards lately, so I decided to go in a different direction, hence the kraft and yellow combination.

ReplyDeleteAh - I was wondering if you were going to post this one that you told me about. I love it. The kraft and yellow is such a pretty and soft combination. And I love how you created the inset look with the jar (I think you popped up the main panel, right?). Great card.
