Welcome
I don't often make shaker cards, but I had not long bought the Peek - a - boo window die and this parrot stamp (a magazine freebie) was calling out to be framed.
I stamped the parrot in London Fog ink and coloured it with Poly Chromo pencils on a snippet of white card.
The sentiment, which came in the set, was stamped in the same ink on the card front.
After colouring the parrot, I fussy cut him, figured out how to frame him using the die cut, and decided to make a shaker card!! Creating 'on the fly', as it were!
I put some metallic, holographic paper on the card base and filled the aperture with Whimsical Forest Mix , and a pinch of Winter Snow as well.
I finished the card with some washi tape on the inside - I chose this tape as it was a nod at the recipients 'bucket list' wish to drive Route 66!

Thank you all for visiting.

Great idea to create a shaker card with this adorable parrot image, Maxine. I have made a few shaker cards, but always struggle a bit with glue everywhere. :) xx
LOVELY shaker card, Maxine. And I love the popping up parrot!!!! Hugs, my friend.
Such a beautiful shaker card. We are so blessed you link your artwork with us last Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. There still a few days left for you to join us again in our current Challenge. Leaving you with the inspiration of the Scripture in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 which says, "And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe." Have a blessed day!
