Back at the fairgrounds again today. This time to watch the fireworks! The sun has set and dusk has begun. Time to celebrate like crazy!
The background and fireworks were stamped in VersaMark, heat embossed, and watercolored with Distress inks on Bristol smooth card stock. The panel was adhered to the card base. A white card stock panel was die cut to create a square window. It was popped up on foam adhesive to create a shaker. The sentiment was stamped with two different colors of Catherine Pooler ink and matted on navy card stock cut to match the label die cut.
I created a video to show how I watercolored the background. You can watch it here or on my YouTube Channel:
WOW...your dusk sky is AMAZING Kara! You totally captured the nighttime feel of the carnival between the wonderful water coloring and the shaker element and someone is going to be ecstatic to receive this FUN and BEAUTIFUL card! Great video too!! Happy 4th my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Kara, enjoyed watching your video with that beautiful nighttime sky. Such a fun shaker card. I also wanted to thank you for the beautifully colored flamingo card.
I have loved seeing the cards you create with this stamp...they have all been so fun and this is another unique one...and a shaker too! Fabulous card my friend! I am so looking forward to reconnecting in a few months!! Heart Hugs, Colleen
I'm late with commenting again, behind with commenting again, and I am so sorry. It's been a bit nuts around here again....you know, my usual life, lol. Now. Talk about a cool card...Dang girl! I can almost picture myself sitting in that Ferris wheel watching the fireworks! What a great design, what a great shaker card! And those colors...you've gone and captured the night sky perfectly. Love this one!! Hope you're out there celebrating the 4th! Enjoy the holiday. Miss you and sending hugs. xoxo Bev
This is just like being there at the fair. Beautiful night sky and I can hear the booms. Wish I had gotten cotton candy before I got on the Ferris Wheel though. The water coloring is just beautiful.
Just beautiful!! Gorgeous colours... By the way, thanks for your kind wishes... I hope your shoulder is fully recovered... I'm still struggling but maybe one day...
That's such a gorgeous twilight dusk sky, Kara ... the fireworks positively glow against your yummy colouring! What a brilliant idea to make this scene into a shaker ... it's so festive ... and perfect with the exploding fireworks! Big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
This is stunning, Kara! It will bring back memories of childhood fairs to anyone who sees it! You have recreated the sky at dusk with perfection! And to make your card a shaker is going that extra mile to make someone feel special!! Miss you! Hugs, Darnell
