I used a mask to create the mountains and I blended the sky with shaded lilac distress ink and the mountains in a grey distress oxide ink weathered wood on a piece of neenah solar white cardstock. That sorted the background. Then I dye cut the border out of another piece of neenah solar white cardstock using the lawn fawn fancy scalloped rectangles and a simon says stamp stitched rectangle die, it cut out a lovely border.
I also dye cut the memory box alpine tree on white card it cut out perfectly. Then I cut a piece of acetate to the perfect size for the card using the lawn fawn die I used for the fram. Next I used foam tape on the card to stick the card, before I stick everything together I stamped the sentiment (from the Hero Arts Warm Hogs stamp set using Hero Arts Dusty Blue) on the background. Finally I put sequins in the card to make it a 'shaker' card. I picked lots out and then put them on the card.
My sister coloured the bunny (from the Mama Elephant Pix Happy Holidays) in copic markers and then I die cut it and stuck it on the card.
What do you think? I like the shaker and the background showing round the frame. Shakers are lots of fun I think I will do lots this year. My sister has ordered me some My Favourite Things shaker pockets to make it easier to do them. She says shakers are annoying to make.
Do you like making shakers? Do you have any advice?
