Hello Ai fans and welcome to our newest challenge,
All A-Buzz!
We want to see your crafty projects using INSECTS!
Bees, butterflies, snails, ladybugs, caterpillars, dragonflies, spiders (yes, I know that they're not
actually an insect but they count) Any creepy crawly.
Today, I've created a shaker card using the little domes from
Art Impressions. They aren't JUST for snow globes!
I began by coloring the images that I wanted to put inside
the dome. I cut a circle slightly smaller than the dome and
adhered the little house, flower, fence etc. to that.
Then, I cut a white circle the same size as the circumference
of the dome and glued my smaller circle to that.
Using the same two circle dies, I cut a little frame to go on the outside
of the dome. It's covered in a protective plastic film to keep it free of
fingerprints until you're ready to use it. I roughed mine up a bit so you
could see what I mean. Be sure to remove this BEFORE adhering your
frame to the outside.
My next step was to lay out my pieces and kind of get an idea
of where I wanted things. At this point I decided I wanted a sentiment
on the front so I scooched things up a bit to accommodate that.
Now I have everything glued down EXCEPT for my dome.
It's time to put the beads in. I selected the amount that I wanted
and laid them on top of the little scene.
Then I peeled the backing off of the dome and placed
it over it. At this point I added the green
frame to the outside of the dome.
I used a different sentiment on the inside. I love finishing
the insides of my cards too.
I hope you enjoyed my shaker card and will give this challenge a try!
I can't wait to see what you create.
