A Shaker Balloon Card - another catalogue sneak peak

This shaker card is more of a traditional one in that it uses window sheets.

It is non traditional in that the entire image, from the hostess stamp set "Hand Delivered" is fussy cut and the shaker element is part of a bunch of balloons.


The image was stamped on a 2 1/2 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock. Before coloring the balloons with watercolor pencils and an aqua painter, I punched a  1 1/4" circle in the lower middle balloon. This I covered on the inside with  some window sheet.

This stamp set has various options for different skirts, so I chose the stripes and used a Rich Razzelberry water color pencil to fill in just the stripes.


The entire image was fussy cut and adhered with foam tape to a 4 by 2 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock matted with Rich Razzelberry card stock.  I used the retired "Sprinkle Embellishments" for the shaker elements.

The base card is Rich Razzelberry card stock layered with Whisper White followed by a 2 by 5 1/4" striped piece of Perfect Picture Party DSP.  Over the seam I adhered some 3/8" mini chevron Bermuda Bay ribbon.

The focal image was added to the card front slightly off center.  On the right side some Bermuda Bay enamel dots were added.

I die cut the sentiment using the retired "Bitty Banners Framelits"  and added it just handing under the balloons.

As a final touch some 3D enamel lacquer was added to the balloons to give them that shiny appearance.
