CC95....

Color challenge on Splitcoaststampers I have been wanting to try and also threw in a new technique for me as well... a shaker card.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

to make the card I used Cool Caribbean cardstock, basic black cardstock, whisper white cardstock and a window sheet. I had found a cute butterfly mini punch in Micheals for a dollar and just new it would be perfect for this type of card. i punched out some butterflies out of each of the colored cardstocks. I used my coluzzle to make the ovals and frame for my central image. The stamp set I used was the gift that Shelly sent from stampin up called Polka dots and Paisley. I stamped my images in cool Caribbean ink and basic black ink. The base for the card is stamped with the dots from this stamp set in cool Caribbean.

I also used the technique for faux stitching with my paper piercer and white gel pen... what a cute card.

Edit.....
Well after looking at it again I thought it need something extra... so I added a strip of whisper white cardstock that had been run through my sizzix with the A2 divine swirls embossing folder for the cuttlebug. then I took my fiskars border punch and punched along the edge. The finial touch was sponging some cool Caribbean ink over the embossing... now I think it is complete.

just a post to answer a question...

Kim B asked me how to use the sizzix with the cuttlebug embossing folders. Well you need to buy the system converter..... this piece adapts the sizzix to use both the cuttlebug thin dies and embossing folders... and you can use the sizzixlets also.... I got mine from micheals but you can also buy it from any other store that carries sizzix brands supplies.... also it is on sale at sizzix... enjoy... hoping to be back tomorrow with a new card... have a great night.
