sending smiles shaker card + pretty pink posh blog hop day 2

Spring is in the air and in the new Pretty Pink Posh release!!! And I'm thrilled to be joining in day 2 of the PPP March release hop!

Before I show you want I made, there's more fun! There are 3 $25 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of March 14th, 2022. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Now let's talk about my latest shaker card!


You know I LOVE a shaker and PPP always has the cutest shaker bits! I'm smitten with the new Pastel Swirls Clay Confetti. I planned the whole color palette for my card to match.

To cut the shaker window I used the Smile Shaker die. It gave it a great scalloped edge that matched the umbrella from the Spring Chicks set.

I used white glitter paper that I ink blended blue for the background of the shaker. I love ink blending on glitter paper! I recommend using dye inks & blending brushes (over pigment inks & blending sponges).

The Spring Chicks set is so darling and really fun to color! Here are the colors I used:

  • chicks - Y15, Y13, Y11 & YR02
  • umbrella, boots & raincoat - RV55, RV52 & E34

Your next stop on the hop is Jeannie Lieu's blog and I know she's going to make something bananas good!!! And here's the whole hop list if you need it...

Thanks so much for hopping with us! Hugs!!!
Carly

Carly, I love this card... those little chicks seem to having so much fun - I envision them playing in the rain, laughing and enjoying each other's company. I really like scallops; for me they just add such a nice touch to any project and the sprinkles inside are charming. Thank you for sharing.
