Everyday Smiles

This sweet card came from my friend Kay Pekin.  I will say getting real mail is such a pleasure!  Thanks, Kay!

What I wanted to highlight with this card is some of the elements.  See how the owl shimmers?  That's because Kay used Shimmer brushes to color the owl.  And she used glitter paper as a background.  Both just make the card extra special.

See the shimmer of the owl?!

Kay clustered elements and added dimension by using foam tape, die cuts shapes, and paper shapes.  

The saying is simple but because it goes across the whole card, it makes a statement.  Any font you have that is small enough will work.

Kay sticks with a few colors - Toffee, Seabrook, and Sapphire - as to not overcomplicate the card.

  • X5957 Sapphire Cardstock
  • D2142 Life's a Hoot Scrapbooking Stamp Set
  • Z4652 Stitched Card Front & Background Thin Cut (used with Z4611 Seabrook Glitter Paper and X5950 Toffee Cardstock)
  • Z3510 Sapphire Shimmer Brush (feet)
  • Z4585 Seabrook Shimmer Brush (wings toward body)
  • Z4373 Watercolor Paints (wings)
  • Z4189 Intense Black (good to use with alcohol markers or water - owl)
  • Z2848 Sapphire Ink (saying)
  • Alphabet font sized to fit


What will you create?
