I also had a Love Circle that I had Stamped and Embossed using WoW Embossing Powder in Rose Gold!! I needed to create a Card Base for my Scrap Pieces so decided to Die Cut the Scalloped Base using the Essentials: Noelle Cutaways Die Set!!
I then used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add some Color and some Water Splatters to add some Texture!! I Stamped and Embossed some of the arrow Images using Peacock Distress Ink in a Repetitive Design and then Embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder!! A few Gold Splatters and some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins finishes of the Card!!

Winnie & Walter 4th Birthday Bash Shaker Challenge with Lea!! =)

Pin It



HELLO!!
I'm here to share the BEAUTIFUL Card I've made for the Winnie & Walter 4th Birthday Bash Shaker Challenge with Lea and the W&W 4th Birthday Bash | Comeback Challenge with Taheerah!! I wanted to create a FUN Shaker Card using several of my FAVORITE W&W Products and that CASES the BEAUTIFUL Card from Joni!!
Here's the Card from Joni I decided to CASE!!

You can find Joni's Original Post here to see how she created her BEAUTIFUL Card!!
I thought it would be FUN to turn this Design into a Shaker Card!! I also decided to switch it up by staying with a more Neutral Color pallet and adding the POP of color with the Sequins!!

I Started by Die Cutting the Base for my Shaker from Black Cardstock using the Essentials: Noelle Cutaways Die Set!! Then in order to create my Shaker I Stamped and Embossed the BEAUTIUL scrolled Frame from the The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom Stamp Set!! I then used an exact-o knife to cut out the center of the Frame!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Silhouette Image from the same Stamp Set onto some Embossable Widow Plastic!! I LOVE the way it looks in real life!! I used some of the Words form The Big, the Bold and You Stamp Set and Stamped them for the background of the Shaker Window using Grey Grout MFT Ink!! I then added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink with a Foam Applicator!! Then added some Water Droplets for some Texture!! I added a mixture of Retired W&W Anniversary Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!! I adhered the Window Panel and then added a Stamped and Embossed Ribbon also from the Leave it to Mom Stamp Set and colored it with Copic Markers!! A Small Banner was Stamped and Embossed with the Friend Sentiment onto Stone Grey Cardstock!! A few more Sequins finish of the Design and I adhered the Shaker onto an A2 Stone Grey Cardbase!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out and I hope you do too!! If you haven't played along yet, you still have some time to WIN!!

I was thinking of a Where's Waldo Style Card!! So I added a Party Hat to one of the Cat Images and wanted it to be a game to find it!!??  Stamped and Embossed the Party Hat Image, which is also from the "Newton Loves Cake" Set and I used the coordinating "Newton Loves Cake" Die Set to Die Cut it out then adhered it to the Cat!! I think it turned out SO FUN!! I used the Frames & Flags Die Set to finish off the Layers and adhered everything to a Grey Grout Card Base!!
