I love the sentiment on this stamp from Crafter's Companion, it's so true!  For this card I created an ombre look using spectrum noir's harmony water reactive dye ink in pale fig, crushed velvet, and damson wine using a blending brush.  I die cut a circle out of the middle (wait for it to dry so your dye cutting plates don't get inked up)! I adhered a piece of heat resistant acetate on the back side, then put foam tape on the edges and around the circle to hold the shaker ingredients!  I tied some bakers twine to the card panel as well. Next I stamped the sentiment using a black pigment ink, then added a few adhesive backed gems around the sentiment.  Lastly I added seed beads and sequins in coordinating colors and adhered the sentiment panel to the front card panel!  I love making shaker cards, they're simple to make and they always put a smile on the recipients face!

Happy Summer everyone!  I have some exciting news to share that hasn't made it's way to my blog yet so here it goes....I'm on the Crafters Companion design team!! It's pretty exciting!  So i'll be creating cards using their products and designing cards that will be on HSN when they do their fun craft days!  I'll be posting my creations on all my social media and show you the how to's here!  I'll also be posting product links for you here as well, which is no cost to you and I may get a small commission from your purchases that help me continue to do what I do!! Today I wanted to share one of my most favorite cards i've made lately using Crafters Companion goodies!

The card was created using the Paisley Peacock Stamp set and colored using Spectrum noir Sparkle pens-coastal cottage set.  I used sea spray, cornflower, and pistachio.  I used a white stamping cardstock and blue cardstock.  I stamped the images in with a waterproof black ink, embossed it with clear embossing powder, and finished this card with some blue and green gems!
