Insta-Smile

The minute I saw this color combo for ColourQ Challenge #138, my thoughts immediately went to the Instagram icon! I realized today that the ColourQ challenge ended yesterday (oops), but went ahead with the card anyway:)

I have to admit that I don't tweet, I'm barely on Facebook, and am just learning to appreciate Pinterest. That said, there's something about Instagram that is so much fun! {I guess it's the 70's child in me} This card was pretty easy to put together! Just a matter of cutting the pieces and assembling. To get a 3D look for the lens, I used fun foam sheets. To cut the rings for the lens, I used my nesting circle dies. (By the way, foam circle frames are great to use with shaker cards. A post for another day:) I ended up using 3 layers of fun foam (1 tan circle, 2 black rings).

I didn't have quite the sentiment I wanted, so I printed one off on the computer and stamped the heart over the sentiment. If you're not an Instagram fan, the design can easily be adapted to any type of camera.

A camera card seems to be fitting for Memorial Day (here in the States). Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
