Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone had a great beginning to a new week. I did not have as much time to play as I had hoped. I spent the day working on one of my tutorials for the upcoming Sending Kisses. I did get a chance to use one of my coloring pages I created for the coloring challenge. I used it in the card for today.
Today is day 28 of the Coloring Challenge.
Today I decided to use an idea from my Perfect Pearls online class. In the class we used glitter gel and added perfect pearls to it. I pulled out a stencil and I added some gold perfect pearls to it. I spread it on my paper and then removed my stencil. I did not like the look so I decided to add some perfect pearls on top. I sprinkled it on and then used a brush to smoosh it in. I am not happy with the way it turned out. I think it should have been a lighter color perfect pearls. Oh well that is what this challenge is all about – coloring with different tools and playing. Here is today’s coloring.
Ok, now for today’s card. I saw a great card on Kristina Werner’s blog. I decided to use the Corner Garden stamp set to create my version of her card. I colored it on a previous day so today I went back to it and sponged in some color on the background. In retrospect I think it would have looked better if I had used a light blue but that is okay as this is a learning curve. I then just had to put my card together as a shaker card. Here is my finished card.

Now I have to ask for some advice. I love making shaker cards. My problem is the static I get on my window sheets that causes my pieces to stick to it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to make shaker cards where my pieces do not stick!
Thanks for visiting me today. Today I am going to check out a site for a Creative Escape. I am hoping we get some good news about it. Have a Terrific Tuesday!
