Hello Friends and Happy Thursday! I hope your day is going well and you're ready for the weekend. I have a quick share today featuring more items from my stash.
I've used a Plaid 6x6 Background Stamp from Honey Bee Stamps to create my own background, and a Steampunk styled Joy Ornament Die to create a mini shaker element for this Christmas Card.
I've stamped the plaid background with Deck the Halls forest green ink from Catherine Pooler, and ink blended Rockin' Red and Cranberry Fizz Catherine Pooler inks for a two-toned look on the die cut, which I turned into a shaker element; it's filled with fine Gold Glitter.
I've splattered the plaid panel with Dr. Ph. Martin's White Ink and added a Baker's Twine bow to the Joy Ornament. I like to use Dr. Ph. Martin's White ink because it stays true white after drying, and doesn't pick up the color underneath.
No bells or whistles added, the glitter and splatter is enough. I had fun with this one, I haven't made a shaker card for a while, and Christmas is the perfect time for shakers filled with glitter.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
