Easter Theme Week- Day 1

Hi, everyone! It’s Marge here for you today for the first day of Easter Theme Week and I’m sharing a shaker card with you.

I started by stamping and coloring of a cross from Easter Blessings set and die cut it using Easter Blessings coordinating dies. Then, I ink-blended watercolor card stock with Distress Oxide Inks: Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, and Tattered Rose.

Next, I pulled out another piece of watercolor card stock and die cut it using Spring Frame Die. I adhered a sheet of acetate film on the back of Spring Frame die cut and made a big shaker. For this, I adhered Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips on the edges of the frame, and I also adhered Square Foam Adhesives on the back of blossoms and leaves so that they would hold the shaker up tightly.

I chose various sequins and seed beads to express my own color palette of gold, orange, and green for this card. Here are what I put into the shaker: 4mm Lime Sorbet, 6mm Lime Sorbet, Evergreen Mix, 4mm Sunshine Glow, 6mm Sunshine Glow, 4mm Lemon Meringue, 6mm Lemon Meringue, 4mm Marigold, 6mm Marigold, 4mm Champagne, 6mm Champagne, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Daffodil Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Spring Green Seed Beads.

After I assembled my shaker, I foam mounted Easter Blessings Cross on the acetate window. I die cut Happy Easter Script Die out of gold mirror card stock and white card stock then I adhered them using Multi Medium Matte and put the sentiments under the cross.

Finally, I adhered my shaker onto a card base and finished it off. The Copic markers I used for the cross were E49-E47-E44-E43-E42-E41 and G29-G24-YG03-G20.

Thank you so much for reading this post. Join us tomorrow for a new day of Easter inspiration!
