Hi crafty friends!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!!
I didn't get as much crafting in as I would have liked but otherwise it was a lovely weekend.
Stopping in to share a card I created for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog for the Sparkle & Shine challenge.
I love sequins and all things glittery!
I created my card base with Surf Blue card stock from SSS. I embossed my white panel with an embossing folder from Sizzix using my Cuddle-bug.
I cut a rectangle piece of vellum and stamped the sentiment from the Written in Watercolor stamp set from My Favorite Things with black Stazon ink, and partly sewed it on with my sewing machine. I left a little opening to fill it with sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and completed my sewing.
I finished it off with some sequins around the card (mainly to cover my imperfect sewing job;)
That's it for my card today! Thank you so much for stopping by!! Hope you all have a wonderful week!!
What a fresh and creative card Shannon! Love it.

Love this Shannon! I have my sewing machine out right now and I should sew some vellum just like you before I put it away. Love this!
ReplyDeleteYes you totally should!!
DeleteThanks Marybeth!!:)
Hmmmm. This just might be the inspiration I need to drag my MIL's old 1932 mini Singer up onto my desk and sew with it. Let's see - I think it's only been two and half years since I showed a photo of it on my blog and said I was going to sew with it the next day! Oops. But, this! This awesome vellum stitched shaker is really sensational, Shannon, and I want to CASE it bad!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Darnell!! Yes, please case it!!! I's love to see it!!:)
DeleteAnd BTW, do you watch Grey's Anatomy? Don't you think that was weird that Meredith didn't even get in touch with her person, Yang, when McDreamy died? If you ever needed your person, it would be then for Pete's sake!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you say this! Before I bought this set when I saw this sentiment my first thought was of Meredith and Christina!! Was obsessed with that show! But I have say did not watch this season, kinda didn't enjoy it was much once Christina was gone! But yes totally agree with you lol
DeleteThis is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Love your vellum shaker idea here!! I have a sewing machine, but I can't sew a straight line for anything! LOL!! Brilliant job!! HUGS
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Vicki!! Your always the sweetest!! Oh and I can't sew well at all so don't feel bad , it takes me a few times and I had to cover my mistake with a sequin! lol
DeleteGorgeous shaker card Shannon! I love the effect of the coloured sequins through the vellum and the embossing looks wonderful.
