Hello Friends, How was your weekend? Welcome to Day 14. Today I have a guest post on the Power Poppy blog for “Inspire Me Monday” I decided to shake things up and make a shaker card. You can see Power Poppy’s new release here. YaY!! I love it all 🙂
I inked up the beautiful new stamp set called, “Soothing Sympathy” to create my shaker card. I have a fairly short video on my process using some Zig Clean Color watercolor markers. The colors are so vibrant and bold plus I love the tips.
The sequin mix “Little Things from Lucy’s Cards” is sooo luscious.
I used some of Simons black dye ink on some of Tim Holt’z watercolor paper. I love that this particular paper is a bright white. Daily I say a little thank you to my mini misti for making stamping and masking much easier.
I glued two pieces of fun foam together then added acetate on top of my foam sandwich. I die cut the frame again from some white cardstock for my final layer. When the watercoloring is dry I will add the sequin mix on top and glue the frame with some glossy accents. Easy and fun. (I used these two dies to create shaker card. This one cuts the frame thick enough to use the foam easily and this to cut out the card shape.)
Thanks for your visit … I am always so grateful. Have a good start to your week. Hugs, Kathy

This card is SO pretty! and I Love the sentiment!
Kathy your card is beautiful. Love the flower stamp and of course your coloring. Thanks for sharing
Oooh, Kathy, your Zig marker colouring is gorgeous! I love the vibrant colours! Your sympathy shaker card is so pretty – I love the sentiment – it is hard to know what to say, isn’t it. These words are comforting. The Lucy shaker mix is so pretty – I enjoy making shaker cards too! Well I told you I wanted to colour on kraft and guess what! I coloured on kraft today! Just linked it up! Thank you for your inspiration and encouraging words!
Beautiful shaker. I never would have thought to make a sympathy shaker.
This is beautiful!
Love it as always. That mix has got to be my favorite. I wish I was feeling better to color but it’s taking everything I have just to type.
AH-mazing colours you got with your ZIGs Kathy! Love it! Love that cluster you created of images too!!! <3
Absolutely stunning Kathy! You’re such an enabler, now I have to buy me the Zig markers. Loved watching you put your card together. TFS as always!
Lovely shaker card Kathy. Those flowers are amazing. Pretty colors.
Oh my goodness this is beautiful. I actually missed a few days of colouring but plan to have some much needed “R ‘n R” soon and it will involve LOTS of colouring time!
Stunning. Love the colors – my favorites!
The stamp set is awesome and so is your coloring! I really love the colors you used. Thanks for the video showing how you did it!
Oh Wow! What a lovely card!
Stunning!
So Beautifully done!!!
Stunning card!!
This is so beautiful and you made a shaker card! Everyone knows how to make a shaker card but me and now you have a video so I can make one too! I think shaker cards are amazing but I never knew how to make one. I mean, I think I can figure it out just by looking at the card and some of the things that are done but I want to get it just right and now I can. I can’t wait to watch the video! Again, it’s an amazing card!
You have to check out the things that were posted by me today. I finally finished a coloring page that has taken me forever to do! It’s so intricate! On Sat. my sister did a crafts fair on the green in northwest CT. We got their at 9 in the morning so I was there with my foot propped up coloring until 6 or 7. That’s when we closed up because there was a threat of rain. It ended at 5 but they had a parade so more people might buy something so we stayed open. I couldn’t believe that I finally finished it! It is amazing and I think the best thing I’ve done so far. If my nephew wants it for his walls in college (he’s going this year) I will frame it for him. I know he will love it!
Beautiful coloring. . . love the shaker card!
It goes without saying that the coloring is simply beautiful. The shaker element is fun and the sequin mix is perfect for the colors chosen! Another winner.
Such a beautifully made card! Gorgeous watercoloring!
What a lovely display piece for your friend. I do love that the sentiement is supporting love, because after all, that is what we all really need after a death in our family. This will remind her of your continuous love.
Stunning Kathy! The colors are gorgeous, I learned something new today. I would’ve never used blue but what beautiful hues it made. Thanks for for sharing your video and always inspiring.
Such a beautiful card Kathy!! It’s always a pleasure watching you color!! Thanks for sharing the video!
