Video: Shaker Card with Ombre Stamped Background

Happy Monday! It's May here with a fun shaker card featuring t he Fresh Herbs Stamp Set , Thanks Stamp & Cut , and Champagne Sequin Mix

I made a video tutorial to show you how to make this card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in  HD on YouTube

I started by ink blending the colors using  Pink to Red Ombre Ink Cotton Candy Ink , and  Strawberry Bold Ink   on an A2 size white panel with a mini blending tool. 

Then I die cut the heart shape  out of the inked panel  using the die from the   Nesting Hearts Inifinity Die Set .  

Next, I stamped the images from  t he   Fresh Herbs stamp set with the same inks. I added the dash lines along the heart border to add some interest. 

I cut out a sheet of Acetate smaller than my card panel but large enough to cover my heart window. Then I glued a piece of acetate sheet down on the back of my stamped panel and mounted a piece of gold glitter paper onto an A2 size top folding white card base using glue tape.

After  trimming 3M foam tape into a strip and attaching it along the heart window and on the back of my stamped panel, I  placed Champagne Sequin Mix over my card base and mounted my stamped panel over the gold card base.

I die cut the word thanks  from the  Thanks Stamp & Cut   7 times out of white cardstock and mounted them together to make it thick using a glue pen.  Then adhered the die cut word in the middle of my shaker window using a glue pen.

Next, I heat embossed the sentiment from the  Thanks Stamp & Cut  with   White Detail Embossing Powder  on a piece of black cardstock and  trimmed my sentiment into a thin strip using a craft knife and ruler. 

Then I mounted the sentiment strip banner below my die cut word using 3M foam tape.  I applied some dots on my background using white Nuvo drops to finish off my card.

That's all for today.  Thank you for stopping by. Happy crafting!
