Happy New Year!
I decided to shake things up to start 2015 – with a shaker card! I have never made one of these cards before, but I have always wanted to give it a try. The sequins were a very nice item to use! I am submitting this card to the first Pals Paper Arts challenge for the year, using Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder and Silver – a very pretty combination!
The card was really quite easy to make. After adding all of the cardbase layers, running the brushed silver through the Big Shot in the Filigree Frame TIEF. The shaker is made with the Starburst Framelits, and layered with the Deco Label Framelits and textured with the Decorative Dots TIEF. The sentiment was stamped again in Night of Navy ink and the banner was fussy cut and glued onto the Window sheet. Before everything was assembled, I trimmed the rubber from the stamp set to fit around the Starburst circle to pop it up. The sequins were added over the sentiment and then everything was glued down with Tombow. Let it dry before you play with it! Otherwise, the sequins could get stuck to the glued areas and won’t shake!
The last part was adding two ribbons, Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon and Night of Navy Seam Binding Ribbon was layered over it. The sentiment from Hip Notes was stamped, punched and layered over the Scallop Oval Punch, then popped up onto the ribbon. A pretty Navy bow was made and glued down to the top of the card and sequins with Candy Dots added to the ribbon for that little touch that always goes a long way!
