Adding shimmer in unexpected places

Hello! Diana here with you today. I wanted to drop by and share a shaker card with you. 

The best part about this shaker card is that it mixes the rustic buck and classic wreath with shiny gold confetti. Don't be afraid to take those leaps and use contrasting elements to pull together a beautiful contrasting card. 

My challenge to you for your next card is to combine two elements that aren't usually used together. 

Supplies: My Favorite Things Frame Die, Stampendous Deer Stamp, Pretty Pink Posh Gold Confetti, Copic X-Press It Foam Tape, Neenah Solar White 80 lb., Copics for coloring. 

Card Sketch - November

Although we have the Etsy shop for our cards, one of our main ideas for having the Copper and Caramel site is to collectively inspire you to create. Making a card to send adds a level of warmth that a store-bought card just can't achieve. 

To inspire you to start making cards, here is your first card sketch. A sketch is a template you begin with to help guide you on where to put the elements of your card.

This is the card Diana made using the sketch. The snowflakes represent the little circles. The elf is the larger circle area. She used a longer sentiment, but a shorter one would have worked just as well.

Here is another take on the sketch from Sara.

She used small snowflakes and white sequins to represent the small circles — remember to be creative when adapting a card to a sketch.

Now you try! If you make a card using the sketch, leave a link to it in the comments section. We'd love to see what you make.
