I am totally out of my comfort zone when it comes to making shakers. However, after repeated attempts to get it right I finally accomplished making one with a hot drink theme. I chose the colors of Tranquil Teal and Plum Punch on white for stamping my images. I also used card stocks to match with those colors too.
I used the cups from the Artplorations Snow Cozy stamp set. The sentiment is a clear sticker from Stamplorations which I placed onto the acetate panel. The die cut window was done using the Cutploration dies that go with the Artplorations Bloom Happy stamp set. I used glitter paper from Crafters Companion. And the panels were die cut with Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.
I added sequins from two different Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends packets: Breakfast at Tiffy's and Purple Passion. But before adding them I took an anti-static tool around the sticky edges so that the sequins would not stick to them. Together these sequins pretty much captured the colors I was using for the stamped images and also for either hot coffee, hot tea or hot cocoa with the brown tones. To pop up the design I used double layers of Scotch Double Stick Photo tape. All was added to a white card base. Other adhesive used was from a tape runner.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
Mod Squad Challenge-Project
Artsystamper Digital Challenge #10-Hot Drinks
Artplorations Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge
I got my walker and I am going to love getting around with it. No more clump, clump like it was with the old fashioned one and I can keep walking more normally. No stop and go walk.
Take care everyone.
God bless,
Verna
