Chilling Birthday Card

I played with the Kindred Stamps "Witch Please" Digital Stamps, ok, I only colored one but, still! I adore this chill dude and couldn't wait make a card with him on it. I didn't really know what I was doing until I did it, I'm not much for pre-planning my cards.

I started by trimming down a piece of watercolor paper that I used Catherine Pooler Color Burst on the night before. I ended up with a very magical looking piece, it reminds me of the colors you see shooting out of wands and fingertips in movies and tv shows involving witches and wizards. The trimmed piece I mounted onto a black card base.

Next, I cut out several pieces from The Stamp Doctor's Halloween Dies #1, in black and orange sparkly paper, and gold foiled paper. I decided these would make a fun filling for a shaker card!

I used Close to My Heart's Shaker die set and cut out a gray background and maroon front piece.

It was time to build my card! I placed my shaker housing over a darker piece of the background that I wasn't happy with, the CTMH kits have a foam circle to use for your cards, the piece is white so I colored the exterior with a gray marker so it doesn't stand out on the darker background. I put my die cut pieces in and added a bit of stardust sequins from Stamp Anniething into my circle. 

My sentiment was stamped onto the acetate using black Stazon Pigment ink (OMG, this is a must have ink!) I added my maroon circle to the front of the card to finish the shaker.  I add my chill dude to the right of the shaker. I finished my card off with 3 black glitter bats from The Stamp Doctor's Halloween Dies.

My shaker doesn't really shake, because I may have used a bit too much filling, but I still love how this card turned out.
