Crocus Flowers Shaker

Hey there everyone, it’s Lindsay! I’m sure you all are really enjoying the new release! I’m loving all the birthday and celebration themed items since I’m always running low on birthday cards. For today’s card, I paired the Crocus Flowers stamp set and coordinating die set with the Celebrate Shaker Die to make a festive shaker card.

I started with coloring in the images from the Crocus Flowers stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and blending out the color with a waterbrush.  After die cutting the flowers, I got to making the shaker.

I wanted the shaker element to be an embellishment on its own and really pop. So I started with cutting out 3 of the Celebrate Shaker Die pieces and gluing them together. I then added an acetate sheet behind all 3 layers of the Celebrate Shaker Die. To that, I put foam tape around all the edges of the shaker piece and added in lots of confetti from the Sugar Plum Confetti Mix. I then cut out a rectangle piece just perfect to fit behind the shaker die and adhered that to the foam tape.

I then had my Celebrate Shaker all ready to go. I played with the layout for a while, finally deciding the background needed some ink blending. I added a bit of Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink to the background to make the shaker really pop. I arranged my flowers from the Crocus Flowers stamp set all around the shaker, added a sentiment from Cupcake Critters stamp set and finished it all off with some Sugar Plum Jewels.

Hope you all have a great day!
