You Make My Heart-saur!

Hello again!  I spent this cold snowy Colorado afternoon making this cute little shaker card with some fun dinosaur images from Trinity Stamps T-riffic stamp and die set.

For the background, I used the Desert Canyon Background die set by Lawn Fawn.  Rather than use the die as a cut out, I used the cut out as a stencil so I could make it a solid background - if that makes sense.  I plan on doing a video soon showing how I did it.  The background was ink blended using Prize Ribbon, Tumbled Glass, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.

For the front of my card, I used the palm tree dies from Lawn Fawn's Hammock and Trees die set. I used two different colors of green cardstock for the palm fronds and a medium brown cardstock for the tree trunks. 

The foreground was cut using the Stitched Hillside Border die from Lawn Fawn.  For the coloring on the foreground, I used white cardstock ink blended with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks.  

The two little dinosaurs and the sentiment are from the Trinity Stamps T-riffic stamp and die set.  They were colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• R17, R27, R39 - Hearts
• YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27 - Triceratops 
• YG61, YG63, G21, G24 - Brontosaurus

I used Trinity Stamps' Sparkle Dots in Orange, Gold and Lime for the shaker elements.  I had thought about adding a few hearts, but I wanted to keep in neutral.   

This is such a fun little card!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope your day is as amazing as you are!
