Little Art Cottage

Hi there,

connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Cornelia from Stempel Spass and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our sixth transatlantic get-together!

Our requirements this time were:

"Shaker & Animal"

Make sure to hop over and take a look at Cornelia's creation.

stamp the cute little cow from My Favorite Things The Whole Herd with Memento (Tuxedo Black)
create a mirror-stamped image of the cow by stamping it on the backside of a large acrylic stamp or on the back of an unmounted rubber stamp and stamp that on a piece of Perfect Coloring Paper as well; the lines won't be too crisp but you can always go over them with your Memento Marker (Tuxedo Black)
color both images with Delta Markers
cut out the heart from Avery Elle Geek Love from a Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardbase and stamp the first part of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Birthday Tags and the second part of the sentiment from Mama Elephant Happy Everything with Versafine (Vintage Sepia)
color a background using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn) and the Hero Arts Cloud Pattern Stencil
use the Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool to create a flat shaker pocket containing the background and shimmery hearts
cut the Avery Elle Numbered Balloons from glitter cardstock and attach them to the tails of the cows with silver twine
