Shaker card using Perennial Lavender

 Hello & Welcome crafty friends!

I'm joining this week's TGIF Challenges #455 to create a shaker card that was inspired their sketch challenge.

I've been playing with the gorgeous *Perennial Lavender Suite and just adore the colors and design of this suite! You can find this Suite on page 23 of the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalog.

*PLEASE NOTE: this Suite is unavailable for ordering until after the week of January 29th. 

The frame of the shaker card I created is made from the Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer Paper, which really gave this card front a special touch.

Shaker Cardmaking Tips:

• DSP for card front measures 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
• Strip of DSP on card front measures 1-1/2" x 5-1/2"
• Stamp the greenery and lavender flowers onto a 2" x 3-3/8" piece of Basic White cardstock. The greenery is stamped full strength with Shaded Spruce ink then offset and stamped off. Repeat across the bottom the cardstock piece.
• Use a small blending brush and some Highland Heather ink to add towards the bottom of the greenery. 
• Cut the scalloped rectangle from Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer paper using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contours die set. 
• on the back of the scalloped rectangle cutout, use your pencil and a ruler to mark the area you will need to trim, about 5/16" in from the edges. Use your paper trimmer to cut the area out and create a frame.
• The small butterflies were created by coloring directly onto the stamps using Lost Lagoon, Berry Burst, and Gorgeous Grape Stamp N Write markers.
• Don't forget to carry over some of the same elements from the card front over to the inside of the card.
