Love Bug

Hello Everyone,

For today I will be playing along with The Card Concept, INKspirational, Challenge Up Your Life, and Shopping Our Stash. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

This mini-slimline shaker card is full of fun shaky heart elements. A lot of them came from the hearts that were cut out to make these heart windows, some are heart sequins, and some are from another card that used this same diecut.

Above: Masking the bug and heart allowed me to apply the color to the same layer alleviating the use for another layer of CS. The ladybug is colored using Copic markers. Fortunately, it did not bleed through the 110lb. CS. Left/Below: The entire upper layer was lightly inked using Picked Raspberry DI then masked the 'love' using a heart diecut then finished up inking using Crackling Campfire DI. Right/Bottom: The shaker is built up by using this same diecut cut 4x. I cut the center out of each layer and placed it on top of one another. This made for a substantially thick card. It did however make for the perfect spot for grass. An unexpected dimensional effect.
