After taking a week off to spend with family visiting I am back on the blogging scene!
I have a little window shaker card to share with you today. I managed to squeeze this one in during Hayden's morning nap and I also took a video of the process. First, I colored some cardstock with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then stamped the Elephant over the top. This is just a super quick way to simply color in a stamp and I find it gives it a very even color, too. I pretty much left the elephant blue, but I used some silver Wink of Stella to add a little detail to his hat and toes. I then fussy cut the elephant and set him aside as I worked on the rest of the card. The next step was to cut out a square window in my patterned paper using a square die and my Sizzix. Then, I adhered a piece of vellum to the backside. I colored another scrap of paper with Tumbled Glass and Broken China, then spritzed it with some Pearl Glimmer Mist and I used that background piece behind the window. To fill my shaker window, I used some star die cuts and a little bit of silver glitter. I glued that all down to my cardstock base using Tombow's Stamp Runner Adhesive. The elephant I adhered to the front using some small square foam adhesive. Then, I die cut the word "birthday" and stamped some stars and the rest of the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink.
