Shaker Sammy

Hi it’s Jennifer here I am here with my second Wonderful Wednesday!

so they just found their way onto this card with tiny townie Sammy is sweet!

I have used this Very Very Cute   TINY TOWNIE SAMMY IS SWEET

rubber stamp (coordinating “CUT IT OUT” die  available on its own  as well as a

 Bundle where you save 15%)  I have coloured her in BG Copics.  I have 

used MFT Blueprints for the Peacock Scallop layer and cut a  bit

bigger one of pretty aqua hearts to layer on a white base.

I cut a piece of white card out using the stitched retangle form

 Blueprints  I then embossed it with a pretty little hearts.

I cut out my circle for my shaker and then taped accetate to the back of it

This is how I poped my 3M tape around the shaker section so I used less 

sequins.

I have layered it all up with the shaker section. To create the scalloped

shaker section I used LF Fancy Scalloped Circle and the Large 

Stitched Dies to cut the centre I then used dimenshionables to raise it.

I fussy cut around Sammy yes I know I should have bought the 

“CUT IT OUT” die  would have saved a lot of work but is now

 on my next to order list.

I have finished it of with a Smile MIC Chippie and Little Hearts using 3 different

 colours of copics to give it an ombre look and then I used crystal effects to give

 it a shine. I have also used Wink of Stella on the Cake, Present and Lolli Pop

 and then Glossy Accented the Lolli Pop. It looks so good I want to eat it.

it’s “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” Blog Hop! AND A CHANCE TO WIN!!

Welcome to “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” Blog Hop. Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker wants to share her love of coloring with you. Today Kathy has assembled a blog hop to give your creativity a jump start with some of her favorite stamp companies & Online Card Class co owners.

The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.

To start at the beginning of the hop go to The Daily Marker.  If you are coming from the blog of  Neat & Tangled you are in the right place. Kathy has the full list if you encounter a broken link.

Mixing stamps from other companies can be a win win. Kathy used one of our beautiful women, ALMOST ELLA,  from the Danielle Donaldson collection, and paired her with Concord & 9th butterfly stamp to make a fun and artistic card.  Watercoloring with Tombow watercolor markers is something Kathy always considers relaxing.

 

Adding a some detail with a white gel pen and paint splatters finishes the card off. Kathy decided to add a last minute bow tied around her neck…. since a choker is in fashion right now. 🙂 Check out the other ladies in this beautiful collection.

The next company on the hop is Paper Smooches

GIVEAWAYS: During  the hop you will find lots of giveaways along the way.  The full list of ALL  winners from the individual blogs will be announced on The Daily Marker Sunday March 12th.
