I fell in love with the colors in this photo instantly and used that for the inspiration for my card. I also liked how there was one main image, so I did the same on my card.
I'm bummed that my lighting is so off in my stamping studio because it is really supposed to be red but it looks pink in the photo. Grrrr!!! I started with my new favorite technique, inking, stamping and spritzing my big block and then rubbing the cardstock onto it. I then die cut the window and turned it into a shaker frame by putting a Window Sheet behind it and securing the sides with strips of Dimensionals. The inside is filled with silver glitter. My kids have had a blast shaking all that glitter around. They think it's so funny to cover the image completely with the glitter and say "Oh no, it's ruined!" lol So, apparently the glitter shaker card is a success, at least in their eyes. :)
