What’s Your Sign?

Uncategorized

14 Nov

Hello! I have a new shaker card to share with you today that uses the new “What’s Your Sign?” Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground. I love the colors of this Blend, and I adore the little clay pieces with the symbols of the zodiac on them. I decided to use the absolutely adorable “Seeing Stars” stamps from Clearly Besotted.

The colors of this Blend has are pinks, blues, purple, and black. I remembered that I had a Gel Press monoprint I had made that would work perfectly with these colors. I had used a heart stencil from Sassy & Crafty on it. For my stamped images, I stamped out the Taurus, Capricorn, and Sagittarius animals and colored them with Copics. These are the star sigs for my family. I fussy cut them out, and figured out the layout of my card.

You can see all of the beautiful colors in this Sparkle Blend in the photo above. I really love those tiny solver stars and of course the zodiac sign pieces. The back of my shaker window uses a piece of Echo Park patterned paper. I also added a sentiment from an older Gina K Designs stamp set called, “To the Moon and Back.” I also painted on a bit of Danube Blue Fireworks! Spray from Imagine on the right side of the card, since my monoprint wasn’t quite the right size for my front panel.

I really love this card. The colors, the zodiac animals, and of course, that gorgeous “What’s Your Sign?” Sparkle Blend. Have you checked out the full November Sparkle Blend release yet?
