Add Some Sparkle WOW

Tis' the season to add some sparkle! Whatever your project is, adding some sparkle with make it special! Nothing says sparkle like a shaker card. I have made a larger square card today. I made the background using a stencil, dye ink and embossing powder with some sparkle. I loved it so much that I just couldn't cut it down to fit a regular A2 size card base. So I chose to make a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" card. I cut the background down to 5"x5" to fit on the card base.

I made the card base from smooth white cardstock. Using a heavy weight cardstock I placed the Scattered Snowflake stencil over the paper using some Pixie spray to keep this delicate stencil in place. I then used the Surf, Sunbeam and Bubblegum Pawsitively Saturated ink to blend over the stencil. I then wiped the excess ink off the stencil and then placed it back over the background and added a sticky watermark ink over the whole area. I pulled up the stencil and sprinkled on the WOW clear embossing glitter and heat set that. The results were glorious!

I then die cut the Merry and Bright sentiment out of white cardstock 3 times to glue together for thickness. I used the outline die that comes with this sentiment to make my shaker window. I trimmed down the background and then adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the window. I also added foam adhesive to pop it up so I could add the shaker bits. I stamped the sub-sentiment from the Christmas Blessings stamp set and heat set that using some silver embossing powder and trimmed it down to a strip. 

I just love this week's theme. I hope you have enjoyed the project I made and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked all the supplies I used for your convenience. Thank you for stopping by and happy holidays!!
