Growing In Unity Day 3: Mixed Media Shaker Card

On my card today, I used the girl image from Dream of Being stamp set and sentiment is from the Kit Of The Month – October 2016.

First, I created the background with Color Burst – Turquoise Powder. I used smooshing technique for this. I dried the background with craft heater, then I sprayed with some water for extra texture, and  then I added some platters on it with Heidi Swap Color Shine Spray Citron and Pink. I dried it again with craft heater. I die cut the background panel with ODBD Pierced Rectangles Die. I added the panel on the white base card with liquid adhesive.

I created the square frame by cutting the largest ODBD Squares Die 4 times and stacked them together with liquid glue. I added a piece vellum paper on the frame.

I added some Christmas theme washi tape on the background panel. And then added some mix shaker filler on the pannel and then I added the frame on the panel.

For the image, I stamped the girl on a white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and I colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pens: 2 shades of green for her sweater, and 2 shades of brown for her hair. I added some sparkle on her with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen. And I also added a hair bow on her using the Christmas theme twine from Doodle Bug.

For the sentiment, I stamped it on a white cardstock using Peacock Feather Distress Ink that actually close match with the background color 🙂 I cut it into banner strip and added it on top of the shaker frame with liquid adhesive. I found a color burst watercolored paper strip in my mixed media stash box that left over from last project, I cut it out into banner and tucked it under the sentiment banner. And then I added the girl on it with liquid adhesive too.

I finished the card with some teal/turquoise sequins on it. And the mixed media shaker card is done 🙂 I hope these cards today inspire you to create with Unity Stamp Company today!
