For the sketch challenge with The Paper Players I took the opportunity to use the "Humming Along" stamp set one more time - in the form of not only a shaker card, but a tulle shaker card.
Why a tulle shaker versus a regular shaker? A tulle shaker is not only much lighter in weight, it is thinner as well, making it less costly to mail.
On a Melon Mambo card base was adhered a piece of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Curls & Swirls embossing folder.
A strip of Garden Impressions DSP was added vertically to the left side; another strip of similar size with a different pattern of the same DSP was added horizontally.
After all was firmly adhered, a circle, using the layering circle dies, was die cut in the card front. Around the circle was added a Melon Mambo frame which was made by die cutting two different sizes of the circle dies at the same time. Behind this circle a tulle 'pouch' with shaker elements was added creating the shaker card.
On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, a single Hibiscus was stamped and coloured with Stampin Blends. The flower was coloured with Melon Mambo (light) first with shading done with dark Melon Mambo, followed by Cherry Cobbler and light Night of Navy. The closer to the center of the flower, the darker the colouring. The stamen was coloured Daffodil Delight with a touch of Melon Mambo. Old Olive was used to colour the stem and single leaf.
The completed flower was die cut and added to the right side of the circle.
Stamped in Melon Mambo ink, the sentiment was matted with Melon Mambo card stock and adhered to the card front using dimensionals
