The Challenge in our stamping group this month was Autumn cards so I decided to try out some new thin mounting tape I ordered from Stampin Up and make some shaker cards.
Let me share this secret with you, I have not made shaker cards in years! I mean YEARS!
So I'm a bit rusty and out of the loop-- but I did it anyway and am proud to share them here now with you.
So come, have a look!
Here's card # 1:

| Normally not one for images without noses or smiles, I couldn't resist this one as Fall is my favorite season of all. |

I didn't know when I stamped this image I'd be creating a shaker.. didn't know till it was just about done! :) I stamped the image, colored it in with Copics then stenciled in the sky. When I got over to my die cutting area in the studio I used one of my favorite dies from MFT. I liked the idea of the border being apart of the image.
It was here that I looked in my stash of patterned papers for a background... what could be more perfect then a day at the pumpkin farm?
These two photos show the shaker section best. The leaves on the outer rim were scraps of silver glossy card stock... I die cut them then colored them with my Copics. They bring the inside scene out I think. What do you say? They also have a bit of sparkle... as if carrying that from the inside out as well.
I hope you enjoyed this card. I'll publish the 2nd card I made shortly.
Meanwhile, enjoy your day.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to leave me a comment so I know you were here.
