I needed to create a special spring birthday card and grabbed my favorite Pansy Patch Bundle #155674. The Blending Brushes #153611 add a "whisper of pink"....perfect!!

Adding texture saves a white card from boredom! I used the Scalloped Contour Dies #155560 and the new Fern 3D Embossing Folder #158804.

A Brushed Brass Butterfly #158136 is a must to complete this sweet card. Try a white card!

WHY is this a "cheater shaker card?" It uses a 6 X 8" Cellophane Bag #102210 to contain the shaker elements instead of the traditional window sheet! It's easy! It's thinner to mail! Simply tape the cello bag around the card stock & shaker elements. I used Shaker Shapes #155569 because they are flat.

These adorable critters are from Easter Friends Stamp Set #157737 and make cute baby cards, too!  Try this easy Shaker Card method!

TIPS for an exquisite sunrise or sunset on hand stamped cards:

   *Use Shimmery White Card Stock #101910 and Sponge Daubers #133773

   *Add saturated color to the card stock by collecting water based ink from an ink pad and SCRUBBING the ink all the way across the card with a dauber.

   *For blended colors for the sky, OVERLAP the colors.

   *Stamp silhouetted images on the finished base with BLACK ink

   *Color in any open areas that should be silhouetted using a water based BLACK marker

   *Layer onto a BLACK card base to pop colors

   *PRACTICE & EXPERIMENT

Use plenty of ink, loading your dauber multiple times!

Any highlights, like on this gazebo roof, can be filled in with a black marker to create a true silhouette.

The NEW My Meadow Stamp Set #151650 is perfect for this technique!

These sentiments are from the NEW Peaceful Moments Stamp Set #151595.
