Blue Mariposas

 

 Hello Hero Arts, always a force
in the stamping, die-cutting community!

What challenge do we have for you today?

We're making Shaker Cards, so let's shake it up!
Remember to limit your entries to 4.
 
Here is my project-
 
 
We have a lovely lady in our water aerobics class who loves butterflies, and the color blue. So I made this shaker card for her! I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts, then arranged the butterfly dies. Die cut, then stamped the card through the die cuts with the first layer of the butterfly. Finished stamping the butterflies with the extra layers, then used the foam tape, beads, and added the birthday sentiment. 
 
Here is the material list-
 
  1. Dies: Layered Butterflies (Hero Arts-retired, but this would work beautifully!).
  2. Stamps: Thinking of you (Hero Arts-retired, but available here), "on your birthday" (Blessings Stamp & Cut by Hero Arts)
  3. Inks: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers (Distress Oxides), Versafine Black Onyx ink,
 What would you get if you won that prize?

 I love dogs. This Scottish Terrier from Whimsy Stamps is so adorable-and a great way to learn Copic coloring on! I always struggle with animal coats, so hopefully I'll get better at them. I used The Stitched Scallop Basic Edges from My Favorite Things, and the sentiment is from Stampendous called "Dog Sayings".

and the gold splatters-


Really, a very simple card. The Whimsy Stamps "Hey, Ostrich" were colored with Copics, and arranged on an ink blended background. I used the Distress Oxides Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, and Stormy Sky, then splattered the Cloud Nine/Lisa Horton Gold Interference ink on it. The sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole called Sassy Sentiments. I love some good sass!
