The current challenge at The Paper Shelter is to create a card that celebrates World Book Day. I opted to use a wonderful digi from TPS named that makes me think of Peter Pan standing on billowing sails as he teases Captain Hook on the deck far below. Oh… and this occurs as the ship sails through the sky! The blue bottle was created with a scrap of a blue plastic index divider sheet. (These are one of my favorite and unusual supplies for card making. Sometimes called document file folders, which come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors. And you can write on them with permanent markers, which is how I traced the bottle from the digi onto the plastic!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- The Paper Shelter (The Dreamer)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sparkly Star Stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Moonlit Sky- We Are 3 Digital Paper (Moody Night)

·   Front Sentiment- We Are 3 Digital Sentiments (Magical Sparkle)

·   Inside Sentiment – “A Little Magic…” from a Whimsy Stamps retired digi set

·   Sharpie black permanent fine-line marker

·   Blue plastic document folder and other items from my stash.

I had leftover items I'd fussy-cut for a card I posted yesterday (flowers from two colors of patterned Core-dination Paper and leaves cut from a scrap of green vellum), which I put to use on this card. They frame the inside sentiment, plus are perched atop the veil wornby the cute little bunny bride. (The veil is actually a small piece of tulle that you can barely see, but  I love the texture and whimsy it adds to the card.) I also added a little color and sparkle to the inside sentiment with pink and silver sparkle gel pens.

·   Digi- All Dressed Up (Mr & Mrs) Simply Cards/Papercrafts Issue 139- no longer available

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

I love this cute little snow cowboy… especially when paired with hand-tooled leather (aka vinyl wallpaper scrap from my stash) and a paisley neckerchief, made with scraps of some wonder western themed paper from We Are 3. The sentiments both come in the digi set. Lastly, I added some texture and a vintage touch with some scraps of twine (he is attempting to lasso the Y'all tag!) and metal staples on the cardstock frame around the little snow dude and on the sentiment frame inside of the card!

·   Snowman and Sentiments-2 Cute Ink Digital Stamp Set (Country Snowman)
