Christmas will be here before we know it and I am creating a few cards here and there to prepare for the 2020 holiday season. The weekly challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #388 is not only perfect for any occasion but also ideal for a shaker card.
Taking photos of foiled or sparkly cards can be frustrating. In this case, the shaker bits are all silver but some of them reflect the blue foil and others reflect the pink shirt I was wearing. How crazy is that?
A panel of blue mirror cardstock was adhered to a white card base, followed by a panel of winter paper. I cut the "film strip" from the mirror card, adding foam tape and shaker bits of glitter, beads, and snowflakes. Once adhered, I stamped the sentiment, die-cut the ovals, and added it with foam tape. In keeping with the sketch, I added a few tiny snowflakes for decoration. Another verse was stamped on the inside of the card, decorated with more of the blue mirror card.

Lots of shine and sparkle! Thank you for playing with the Atlantic Hearts sketch this week.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I LOVE this! I purchased these papers a while ago and haven’t been sure how to use them effectively. Your card is absolutely stunning. I love how you used the sketch without overwhelming the beauty of the image. Thanks for sharing this awesome card with us at Atlantic Hearts :)
