Happy birthday, my friend - Inspiration Destination #129

Wednesday May 31, 2017

 

Welcome to another challenge at Inspiration Destination #129   we're shaking up the challenge ANYTHING GOES / opt. SHAKER card

 

 
Well this is not my favorite technique but I wanted to give it a try again and being on the DT I don't think I have the option that you do... LOL ... I have only made one or two shaker cards because I get so confused on what all to do. I think maybe I should of made the foam wall around the balloon one more row higher.. Also the sequins are sticking to the inside of the clear film.. I was afraid to use my embossing static powder tool because I did not want powder to leave a film.. now that it is done I guess I could of used a fabric dryer static sheet.. Duh.. I think maybe that would of worked?? All in all I am happy with it.. I took my Stampin up itty bitty background stamps and some Versa Mark ink and stamped on the pink. I also used an over all large star stamp and Versa Mark and stamped the kraft. I use the balloon die from Simon Says and I used a My Favorite Things beary special image and die and cut off the balloon he was holding and added some floss and added the bow and string into his hand. I colored the image with copics and used the sentiment from MFT and heat embossed it with Stampin up black. I used sequins and micro mini beads in the shaker card and Nuvo drops in teal on the card. I added some white gel pen dots to the bear. Head over the Inspiration Destination site and see what the Design Team created get some ideas if you need help.

Happy Birthday shaker - Catch the bug

Saturday May 13, 2017

 

Welcome to our Saturday challenge at Catch the bug... The theme for this week is SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL.. make a shaker card, inter active card.

 

 

You can fine the image I used in the Bugaboo store.. he is  Sign it boy balloons  

I cut out the sign part with scissors  so I had the open area. I added the acetate and then cut a My favorite things scallop die for the frame and HB words. I used Ranger orange ink and Dylsions number stamps for the background and went over it with blue Ranger because the orange was so bright and I needed to tone it down. I filled the shaker part with sequins, small beads and other small pieces. I layered the Happy and Birthday three times and adhered it to the acetate. I colored the image with copics and went over the balloons with Glossy accents.

I'm still not a fan of making shaker cards.. I need to watch more U-tube videos to get a better way to create. Looking sideways at the card is not pretty.. I think I need to add the foam tape in longer strips all around the outside THEN do around the shaker part of the frame. That way it would look cleaner looking sideways.
