Happy Birthday Friend

 Hello all,

It's the first Sunday of 2022 and time for the first Paper Players Challenge of the year. Ann is hostess with the monthly theme challenge, and we are challenged to use sparkly items on our projects.

Before I get to my card, I want to say congrats to the 2022 Guest Designers, Cindy, Christy and Jennie. You will have a fun year!

My card today is a shaker birthday card I made in November for a friend, but never posted. It fits the theme with metallic sequins and black rhinestones, that I used for the dots on the "i's," and I covered the die cut words with Shimmery Crystal Effects.

 

For the background, I used the Concord & 9th Weathered Wood Background stamp with gray and pool inks. 

To make the shaker, I used some recycled plastic packaging and double-sided tape. 

The stamped image is from  a Concord & 9th stamp and die set called Heartfelt Blossoms. I stamped it on watercolor paper with permanent black ink and used Zig Brush water color markers to color the flowers. The image is cut out using the corresponding set die and popped up over the shaker background with foam tape. 

The greeting is made by cutting three layers of each word and gluing them together. The top layer is cut from Kat Scrappiness shinny black card stock. Before gluing the stacked words onto the card I covered them with SU Shimmery Crystal Effects and let it dry really well before gluing the words onto the card. The word dies are from the SU Well Written die set. After the top panel was completed, I glued it to a purple note card.

Here is the inside of the card. The flower image is from the same Heartfelt stamp set and the sentiment is from a SSS set.

Enjoy your Sunday, and thanks for looking in,

Colleen
