<p>I use the new digital stamp set, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/612061444/sweetness-digital-stamp-set?ref=shop_home_active_2">Sweetness</a> from Graciellie Design. This beautiful digital is pack with sweet sentiments and image to use for creating projects for friends.</p>
<p>I created the rainbow watercolored background with Koi Watercolor Paints. I started with adding water on a watercolor paper with big flat brush. And then, I started adding the colors and let them blending naturally with water. Once I was done adding the colors, I dried the panel with craft heater. I trimmed it to fit on a A2 (4.25&#8243; x 5.5&#8243;) white card.</p>
<p>I cut 2 scallop dies from Craftin Desert Divas &#8211; Fancy Frames Dies to create the shaker window. I added a piece of clear acetate paper on it with Scro-Tape double-sided tape and then I added thick 3D foam tape around it. Then, I added the shaker filler with clear jumbo glitter and fine clear glitter in the middle of the card. I make sure the glitter is in the middle and around it is clean, and then I added the frame on top of it.</p>

<p>I printed the ice cream flower bouquet image and sentiment on a white cardstock with inkjet printer. I dried the ink with craft heater and start color the ice cream bouquet with <a href="https://www.leisurearts.com/adult-coloring-books/30-pack-watercolor-colored-pencils.html">Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils</a> and waterbrush. I added some glitter on it with Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Brush Pen. I dried it again with craft heater, and then I fussy cut the image with micro-tip scissors.</p>
<p>For the sentiment, I cut it into banner strip. I added it on the top of the frame with dries-clear adhesive glue and then I added the ice cream flower bouquet on the card with dries-clear adhesive, I added some 3D foam tape under the extra that sticking out of the edge of frame.</p>
