SIP #156 Shaker Card Challenge

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Hope you've had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start!  It's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge and this week it's all about shaker cards!

I have to be honest in that my card was soooo super easy!  I used some awesome 6x6" patterned paper from Altenew called Reflection that is just beautiful and made for a quick and easy card!

Never underestimate the value of beautiful patterned paper!  It really did most of the work for me!  I added a sentiment from Altenew (Best Buds Stamp Set) and some sequins and then built a frame with square framelits, window sheet and  foam strips.  So simple yet really pretty!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

PCC 248 Inspiration Challenge with Altenew Best Buds and Budding Thanks Bundle

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  This week is going super duper fast for me because I get to see my Daughter and Granddaughters in just 2 days!  Yay for me!  It will be a busy weekend.  Friday is my birthday and Saturday my daughter and I will be throwing a baby shower for Wayne and Ashleigh.  Then of course Sunday is Father's Day.  That's a lot of action in just three days!  lol  Well since today is Wednesday it's time for another Paper Craft Crew Challenge.  This week's challenge is an Inspiration Challenge!

I love the colors in this picture and although I could match the blues, the greens were not that easy.  I was able to find some Patterned Paper that matched beautifully!  It was from the new Altenew Reflection 6x6 Paper Pack.  I paired the paper with my new Altenew Best Buds and Budding Thanks Stamp and Dies bundle I got for my birthday and I was in business! lol


So first of all, I wanted my rose blue since the flower in the Inspiration Picture is blue.  Did you know that there are blue roses!  Well I googled it and yep, there are!

So once I realized they existed.. I was all over this blue rose. lol

The gorgeous background from the Reflection Paper Pack was cut with Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangle dies.  I backed it with a skinny layer of SU Island Indigo cardstock.  To me the lightest green in the Inspiration picture was almost a yellowish-green so I used FSJ Sweet Pear and Electric Lime for the leaves and stem with a touch of SU Wild Wasabi at the bottom of the stem.  The bud was stamped with SU Tempting Turquoise and SU Island Indigo.  The sentiment was first inked with Versamark and then SU Island Indigo and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I added three of the Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Confetti Sequins to finish off my front.  I added the matted front panel to a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of FSJ Lemongrass Cardstock that was scored at 5 1/2" for a top folding card.  It's simple but I think super pretty.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
