Dream Big - Hero Arts
Posted by Amy Tsuruta on October 25, 2017

Dream Big

I've been having fun making shaker cards lately. Today I'm featuring the Seal Family stamp. I decided to do a bit of fussy cutting.

I used Hero Arts Bold Ink - Aquatic Hybrid ink with the Abstract Waves Stencils on both the base and top panel. It goes horizontal on the base and vertical on the top panel. I filled my shaker with the new Winter Sequin Mix. I love the shimmer!

I shared this shaker card tip during the last My Monthly Hero blog hop: I put my main images on top of the acetate panel.

Since I lost the air bubbles on the Seal Family due to fussy cutting, I added enamel dots that I had in my stash.

The sentiment is from the Sun Showers stamp set and has been stamped in Intense Black.

This would make a great new baby card or even a birthday card.

That's it for me, thanks so much for stopping by!
