Today's post is another card using our new Shaker Frames and Mica Flakes. This card uses a cute little set from the Holiday Mini called Gift Givers. Each stamp in the set coordinates with a punch.
I chose the owl, because I thought it would be fun to paper piece him together. So I stamped him in soft suede and cut him out, next gluing him back into the image. A pinch of Mica Flakes...and viola...all done :)
Except.....for one little thing... How many times have you used the pinking hearts border punch and wished you could use the teeny little heart remnants?? Well....as I was just about to sweep them into the trash...it dawned on me...I should sweep them right into my shaker frame, instead!
And I love how the tempting turquoise hearts reflect off the Mica Flakes, giving them a slight tint.
Speaking of tinting your Mica Flakes....tune in later and I'll show you how!
One last tip....
Even though your shaker frames come in perfect little circles, there is no need to limit yourself!
Just snip your circle in one spot and they are easily manipulated to any shape.
Easy, Peasy, I Promise! Try it :)
Happy Stampin'
