Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, back with this super fun
shaker card featuring some Froggy Friends having
fun jumping and hopping from a pad to another. I totally enjoyed creating this
card, and I hope that it will inspire you!
So, as very often, I started off
by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol
marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and
then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in various shades of green and
also bright pinks for the water lily flowers to match with the shaker
components.
Here is the detailed list of the
stamp sets I used: • Froggy Friends -
frogs, large cattails, large pads, flies • Country Scenes -
small cattails, water lily flowers on pads • Puddle Jumpers -
frog umbrella • Feeling Froggy -
fireflies.
Once the coloring was done, I
added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then
worked on my shaker panel. First, I cut a Comic Strip Everyday panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock and kept the
frame only. I cut another one out of an Amazing Argyle teal woodgrain pattern paper, kept the five inside
pieces only, and used a scalloped die from the Sweet Treat House Add-On to cut five slim scalloped borders out of
those inside pieces.
Next I attached my woodgrain
frame to a clear acetate panel using liquid glue, and stuck a slim scalloped
border at the bottom of each window using liquid glue as well. On the upper
part of the top right hand corner window, I stamped "You make me hoppy"
from Froggy Friends using
white Stazon ink (it dries quickly and doesn't smear on acetate) I flipped
my woodgrain panel over, added foam strips all along the four edges and at the
back of the slim window dividers as well, creating this way five spaces to pour
lots of Frogs & Flowers confetti into. I peeled all the backing papers off the
foam strips, and attached a Gingham Pastels teal
gingham panel to the strips to totally close my shaker panel.
I attached my panel to a white
card base and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I
attached a few flies and fireflies here and there, and finally added white
blizzard nuvo drops to the fireflies wings to make them sparkle.
And that's it!
What a cool and fun project it was to create, I hope that you like it.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
