Parchment Pocket Card

Hi Everybody,   

Todays card is a shaker card that is created from a parchment pocket .

 I have shown this idea in a video before and I have added it in below in  case you missed it.

The shaker pocket has been filled with green sequins and enough room left for them to shake around.

The purple background has been done with ink smooshing and then dies used to cut out the frame, the flowers and the sentiment.

The white base panel has been embossed and the aperture removed using square dies.

The same nesting dies have been used to produce the frame

The leaves, sprigs and flowers have been added with a mixture of glue and foam pads.

I have used Glossy Accents to pick out the flower centres.

The berries on the sprigs have been coloured red and then covered in the Glossy Accents also  and then I have left them to dry thoroughly

The finished card is a 5x7 with the fold at the top and the sentiment is added to the bottom of the card.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

 

All Occasions Collection - Shaker Card

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using the Squares and the 5x7 dies from the All Occasions Collection to create this very pretty shaker card. 

I have used some beads that I have had for years in my drawer and forgot all about them.

I have added my shaker panels to an embossed background as this helps them to stand out more. 

I have used the Perfect Rose folder but you could use any that you have in your own collections.

The blooms on this card are Mulberry Flowers that I bought from Wild Orchid Crafts years ago and sadly they do to ship to the UK anymore

In this collection there are some really useful words dies that will build up into sentences for you to add to your cards.

They will cover many many occasions for you from Christenings to Sympathy and lots more in between.

Here is the video to show you how I made this elegant Shaker card and I hope you enjoy the process.

                          

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
