Consider This Card a Hug: Part 2

Greetings! Alison here. Earlier in the month, I shared THIS card that I made with the Unicorn Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground and 2 of the Give a Hoot stamps from Elizabeth Crafts. Today, I am sharing a card I made from my son using the same stamp set, but for the shaker I used a combination of Sparkle Blends.

I adore the sweetness of these owl stamps, and I knew my son would love a card with them just as much as my daughter. I had previously colored the "Momma" owl, so that helped me choose the directions for the baby and the rest of the card.

After I colored the owls, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next I chose a couple of fun patterned papers from DCWV, and I cut a window in one of them using Elizabeth Craft Designs' Stitched Rectangles.

Then I moved on to choosing the Sparkle Blends for the card. It turned out that there wasn't one that was quite right for the card, so I decided to create my own! That's the beauty of playing with Sparkle Blends....you can always mix them together to create a custom look. For this shaker, I used Flaming Sunset (one of my son's favorites), But First, Coffee, and Limonade.

When all was said and done, I had the perfect combination of Sparkle Blends for my card, and I am happy to report that he adored his card. My sentiment is the same that I used for my daughter's card, which is from the You Are Loved stamp set from Hero Arts, and my card base is gray. So why not pop on over to White Rose Crafts LLC to see what beautiful combinations of Sparkle Blends you can come up with for yourself? You just can't make a wrong decision! White Rose Crafts is the only place you can buy Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. I'll be back soon with a new project. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
