Die Cut Divas ~Shaking It Up with Hero Arts

Hello Crafty Friends! The current challenge at Die Cut Divas is a fun one. We're shaking it up as our challenge is

MAKE A SHAKER CARD

Our sponsor this month is Hero Arts. They will be giving our winner a $25 gift card. Thank you Hero Arts for your generosity and for supporting paper crafters.

Here's my shaker card

For the shaker part, I used some plastic packaging and made a little pocket, approximately 2 1/2" square. I used double sided tape to close the edges but left one edge open, so that I could add the sequins. After I added the sequins, I closed the final edge, again with double sided tape. For the card front, I die cut using Hero Arts Looking Glass Green House dies. I die cut the window from a dark gray and the sprigs of flowers using white cardstock. I added color to the sprigs with Concord & 9's inks - grapefruit, watermelon, wheat, buttercup, marmalade, parsley. I glued the sprigs to the back of the window. 

Here's a close-up of the window.

For the main panel, I started with a light gray A2 card panel and added pumice stone distress ink over a My Favorite Things' Mix-ables Brick Wall stencil with an oval ink blending brush. I die cut a square, a little smaller than the window panel with a square die. This allowed me to adhere the window in place with double-sided tape. I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base to complete my card. I left my card without a sentiment. I could add one later or leave it the way it is. 

We'd love to see your shaker cards in our gallery.
