bunny shaker card




My second shaker card! Really enjoying making these lately. I started with some white embossing a dotted background stamp onto a soft blue cardstock. To create the balloon, I die cut a circle and attached a small piece of white cardstock at the bottom to make it look more like a balloon. After filling in the sequins I adhered the entire panel with some craft foam onto the front of a regular size card. I then die cut some clouds from both vellum and white cardstock and adhered it onto the card front. After stamping the bunny I did some copic colouring. Using the coordinating die I cut the bunny and attached it onto the card with some black and white twine. Finished off the card with a sentiment from the same stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by.

first shaker card




Yes, my very first shaker card! I started by doing some distress ink blending to create the night sky. To create the moon, I did some partial die cutting using the stitched circle dies. I did some additional blending on a separate piece of cardstock to create the grass hill. After filling in the sequins I adhered the entire panel with some craft foam onto the front of a regular size card. I then added some white stars using the star border die and finished off the card with this cute stamp from Mama Elephant and heat embossing the sentiment with some white embossing powder.
Thanks for stopping by.

frozen

Throwback Thursday to when we were standing at Prospect Point watching the frozen Naigara Falls. It was breathtakingly beautiful and was worth getting wet and the freezing temperatures. This was taken as we watched the sun set on the Canadian side.
Have a happy Thursday!
