…that’s better…

14 Feb

Whew…okay, here’s a better Valentine’s Day card for my husband!  Still had to add a little pink in there for the holiday but it’s considerably more masculine than my first try!

Valentine's Day shaker card www.allthesparkle.comI used the fun Love ‘N Breakfast set from Lawn Fawn to stamp the sentiment and shakers in Versafine Onyx Black and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.  Then I took a heart die from the Memory Box Cherub Hearts, placed it around the shakers, and traced it to get the heart shape.  I followed Kristina Werner’s tutorial for using frisket to create a mask for the watercolored hearts.  I also painted frisket on the shakers so that the watercolor wouldn’t seep onto the shakers.  Once the frisket was dried I wet the inside of the heart and painted it with peerless watercolors.  After the heart was dry I rubbed off all of the frisket.  Then I used a little clear wink of stella glitter on the salt shaker and the silver wink of stella glitter on the pepper shaker.  I also added little flecks of “pepper” with a .3 copic multi-liner and colored the shaker lids with a copic marker.  After that dried I added a thin layer of glossy accents to the glass of the shaker.

Lawn Fawn Love 'N Breakfast shaker card www.allthesparkle.comI used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies for the background piece as well as the black frame.  While everything was drying I added acetate and foam mounting tape to the black frame and then filled it!  I wanted to keep it a little more masculine so I used mainly Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins in 4mm and 6mm, Avery Elle’s Midnight Blend, and a pinch of Ellen Hutson’s Iridescent Melon sequins!  I also tossed in some coarse glitter by Martha Stewart for a little extra “salt.”  To finish the card I adhered the shaker to a top folding card stock base of Simon Says Stamp black card stock.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’m entering this card in the following challenges: Virginia’s View Challenge #12: Shaker Cards, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Red and Pink, CAS-ology Challenge Week 133: Love, and Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge: So Sparkly!
