Welcome
This was made back in May, so I am not 100% certain of all that I used...

I know I started with a 'mop up' background, and the die cut had been cut ages ago, and then sat on my desk before I put it to use... here I glued it to the acetate on this shaker card, which lifts it off the background and lets it take the eye.

I dabbed ink onto the die cut to colour it - I am sure the pink is a Memento Pearlescent, but cannot remember which green I used.

I created a similar piece of card for the sentiment, the sentiment is a magazine freebie
The sequins were from several assortments, with blues and pinks, as well as some neutral colours

The inner liner I stamped off the corner with the same pink ink, using one of my original stamps...

It is a very pretty rose, but I need to have a mouse pad under it to get a good impression.

A really effective shaker card Maxine and pretty colours and whilst lovely to see you at Stamping Sensations, the flowers are die cuts you say so sadly not eligible.

So very pretty. I can't even remember when the last time I made a shaker card and I love them! Yours is gorgeous!

Love the delicate flowers of your shaker, I have a similar die and have never thought to using it in this way, thanks for the idea. The mopped background adds interest as well the fishtail banner. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteLovely shaker card, Maxine. The delicate floral die cut is very elegant! Thank you for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday this week. Take care!
ReplyDeleteYou are brave to make a shaker card! (Haven't tried that jet) Like the background and the colours of the flowers; they look nicely soft against the shaker. Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteWow.. this is so creative! Love the pretty diecut being adhered on to the acetate, idea. Maxine.. I count my blessings, when I see you stop by at my blog. The sweetest lady from NZ stops by to give me blessings.. and makes my heart so happy. I have not been having good days, so please know that your comments are soo appreciated and I feel that your blessings will help me overcome all my hurdles. I am also ashamed that I don't visit your blog often, I am so sorry. Sending you love from sunny Delhi.
ReplyDeleteBEAutiful colours and such a GORgeous design.

It is funny when you are making something, you don't think you will forget how you did it, but you invariably do. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, it looks amazing and very special with the shaker element xx
ReplyDeleteHi Maxine, a gorgeous card with the shaker behind the coloured die cut, thank you for the tip of using a mouse mat under some of the older stamps (I've never been able to get one specific stamp to work- I try it out) Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteMaxine, this is a gorgeous shaker card. Lovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteYay, I have internet back! I love this shaker card Maxine! That die you used is just gorgeous and looks so nice over the shaker bits. Your mopped up background is beautiful as well. And who doesn't love a shaker card?!! They are always so fun and well received! As always, your inside is equally beautiful. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done shaker card. Love the die cut on the acetate. Love that the rose stamped on the inside corner is soft. It is very subtle.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
So, so pretty Maxine. Love the pink & blue combination & now I know what "a shaker" is. Your ideas are just so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA wicked frost over here this morning (-1) but a nice blue sky & hopefully a sunny day ahead. Internet been phasing in & out for a week so apologies that I am late to the party. xx
Beautiful card and colours are stunning the effect is always great and your card looks beautiful ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shaker card! I LOVE that flower diecut and how you inked it. Thank you for sharing and playing along with Polkadoodles ~ Wendy
ReplyDeleteSuch a charming card...beautifully feminine. You have me wondering about the mop up technique (never heard of it) I shall have to google it! Smiles, Kathy
ReplyDeleteThis is a different take on a shaker card and I love it. What a lovely idea to use a die cut. So effective.
