Hi!
I haven't made a shaker card in forever!!! When I saw this cute digital stamp called "Christmas Mermaid" from Kinda Cute By Patricia Alveraz, shaker popped into my head! I love the idea that mermaids are making snowmen under the sea!
I started my design today by downloading, sizing and printing off the mermaid image. Next I coloured her in with my Copic Sketch markers. I made a frame out of a Stitched Scallop die and a circle die. I cut the coloured image out with a slightly bigger circle die so that I could mount the frame on top. Taking some acetate, I made a "window" and glued it to the back of the frame. I took some doubled up foam tape and added it to the back of the frame I created. Next I added an assortment of sequins and tiny beads and then glued the image to the frame. My papers today are from the Photoplay "Gnome For The Holidays" 6x6 collection.
Here you can see how the scalloped frame is popped up. Shaker cards are always so much fun especially for younger kids when the skate, shake, shake them LOL!
