Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I'm back with a spooky shaker card featuring the sweetest black kitties, and I'm having
fun celebrating Halloween. Last week was all about goth elegance, well today is
about cheekiness and cuteness!
As very often I started off by stamping
the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker
friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored
everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Ohuhu markers, picking dark
shades of grey for the kitties, spiders and hats, oranges for the pumpkins and
pinks for the spooky balloons.
Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets
I used: • Cat
Antics - cats (on the right + upside down) • Party
Pets - cats (left + middle + flying),
balloons • Too Cute To Spook - pumpkins, spider webs,
spiders, jack o' lantern faces • Bewitching -
hats.
When the coloring was done, I added
highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then moved on
to my shaker background. I first cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Preppy Prints purple panel and cut a large Stitched Semi Circle opening out of it. I mixed
black soot oxide ink water and added black splatters to my purple panel, and
then did the same with copic opaque white ink and with wilted violet distress
spritz for some sparkles. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches acetate panel, attached
it at the back of my purple panel using liquid glue and then stamped
"Trick or Treat" from Too Cute To Spook on the front, directly on the
acetate using black Stazon ink, which is an ink that doesn't smear on acetate
or vellum.

At the back of my purple panel, I
attached 2mm foam strips all around the Stitched Semi Circle window, following the rounded
shape, added strips on the very edges of the panel, and poured a bunch of Black Bat confetti on the acetate. I cut a 5,5 x
4,25 inches Classic Sunburst pink panel, added black and white
splatters all over it, and when it was dry I attached it to the foam strips to
totally close my shaker panel. To finish my card base, I cut a black frame
using the main Tropical Trees Backdrop die, attached it using 1mm foam squares,
and finally stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.
And that's it! I hope that you like this
spooky cute Halloween shaker card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you
next week.
