In case you don't already know, Stamps and Smiles has a fun project challenge every Tuesday and this week they challenged us to make shaker cards. I haven't made a shaker in a LONG time, so I jumped on the inspiration!
I used the Your Next Stamp set Happy Days Mermaid and a sketch from Sunday Sketch & Stamp, which is being sponsored by Your Next Stamp! The sketch runs for 2 weeks starting today, so you have plenty of time to play! Here it is:
I stamped the mermaid, colored with Copics, added Stickles to her tail, then cut her out and popped her up with foam boosters. I cut 2 different papers for the background, then added the homemade rick-rack strip (cut with giant scallop scissors) over the seam. I used 2 layers of craft foam to make the shaker and added clear micro beads for the shakey part. I have to say I'm having a ton of fun just shaking the card around!
Lastly, this card also fits the Paper Blooms challenge - make a circle card. I hope you like it and TFL!
