Earlier this week I was on the Memory Box Blog with a shaker card inspired by Laura Bassen for a recent Online Card Class. I had perfect products to CASE Laura’s card. I started with the Raindrop Plate diecuttting it with light blue cardstock and backing it with matte silver which gives the raindrops a wonderful shimmer. The Umbrella Trio had just the right size umbrella which I die cut from red and yellow scraps with some matte silver for the handle.
I chose a circle from Circle Basics that was the perfect size for the umbrella and cut it from the raindrop panel, and backed it with a piece of acetate. The card base was created with white cardstock, and I layered a piece of blue cardstock to back the shaker.
I added a pile of pretty white sequins to the blue background. After lining the raindrop panel with dimensional tape, I carefully layered in onto the card base. The sentiment is one from the Sunshine and Wildflowers stamp set, stamped in black and then trimmed out. It was added to the card front with thin dimensional tape.
I’d been thinking about using these products for a shaker card for a long time. Once I saw Laura’s card it came together very quickly.
A cheerful card – even the little clear discs in the shaker element look like rain drops.
