While you don't have to use partial die cutting the way craft counsellor Stephanie did, I decided I was up for the challenge. Here's what I made:
I thought this image was perfect for the partial die-cutting technique. For once, I picked my patterned paper and my markers at the same time, rather than looking for a match after the fact. (I have four shades of Spectrum Noir markers, greys, reds, teals, and purples, so my choices are less than infinite. :D) That I found sequins that were a perfect match was total luck. I realize the purpose of bags of mixed shaker sequins is not to go through and pick out a few of one colour, but hey, whatever works. Since this is a birthday card, I'm also going to link this up at Seize the Birthday.
And now the dilemma — the final day of Camp Create calls for making a shaker card. I don't like making shaker cards, but I don't really want to stay in my cabin with a fake tummy ache for the last day of camp. We'll see...
Supplies: white card stock, Studio Calico patterned paper, MFT I Knead You & Cat-itude stamps and dies, Spectrum Noir markers, Little Things from Lucy's Cards sequins, pop-dot tape
Super cute! I love that all the aquas coordinate perfectly, from the patterned paper to the kitty and sequins!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, love the colours you have used for this too. Wonderful layout.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific card! I had to chuckle at your comment about matching your colors a head of time, and your comment about faking the tummy ache! I am not a big lover of shaker cards either...I like looking at them but not making them. I am rooting you on to finish your last camp challenge! Thanks for playing along with the girls and I over at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love this! More MFT kitty goodness! You are inspiring me to finally break mine out and use them instead of just admiring them. :D
ReplyDeleteMeant to say that I don't like making shaker cards either. I love the look of them but mine always seem to just end up bulky an clunky. :(
ReplyDeleteLove your card and that cute image. Great colors too. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYour partial die cutting is perfect here. I'm impressed; I haven't had much success with partial die cutting but I think I need to persevere. Your colour scheme is so pretty.
