Hi there,
It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this controlled shaker card with Joset’s adorable little monkey as the focal image.
Step 1: Die Cutting, Coloring and Assembly of the Focal Animal
- cut out all the elements needed from the Monkey die set from white Soft Finish Cardstock
- color the elements with Alcohol Markers and add extra shading with Distress Ink (Tea Dye, Ground Espresso) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
- add highlights with a white gel pen
Step 2: Create the Background
- create a background on Yupo paper using Alcohol Inks (Moss, Everglades)
- stamp some leaves from the Garden Flowers set onto that background with brown ink and heat-emboss them with clear embossing powder
Step 3: Create the Frame
- cut out a frame from kraft cardstock using two dies from the Stitched Rectangles set
- cut out the cloud and the grass borders using dies from the Adventure Edges set
- add color with Distress Ink (Peeled Paint, Salty Ocean) and a Blending Brush
Step 4: Finishing the Shaker and Adding the Sentiment
- thread some clear and green seed beads onto a green string
- assemble the whole mechanism using double-sided foam adhesive
- create the sentiment using the Sentiments 1 Celebrations stamp set and its matching dies
I hope you got inspired.
Stay creative.
Hugs,
Supplies
