Shake shake shake!

Welcome back my dearies!

This is a scheduled post as I'm laid up for the next day or so.

Here is another card front I've done for Diana, but when I finished it I decided to add a small Easel portion to it so that you could see it better. This is a Shaker card and it was a delight to make.

I've used two wonderful Mini images on this card. #231 Summer Flower Tilda and #505 Stoney Pathway. Diana has a fabulous deal on her minis at this time. They are bundled together in wonderful pairs to make your purchasing easier, plus they're under $10 and you get a percentage of your spending into a store credit which you can apply to your account at any time. Please be sure to drop by her wonderful online store for the best service and selection in the USA!

Here is Summer Flower Tilda....It's hard to see the clear micro beads I have used in the shaker portion, but they are there - believe me! I must have spilled a kazillion of them all over my craft table trying to get them between the transparency and the image. Sheesh!!

Here is a closer look at Tilda and the stoney pathway. You can kind of see the beads here, but they're very MICRO and clear...I'm sorry to say that I didn't keep track of my Copics on this card.

Here is a side view of the card. You can see that I used a very small easel shape to prop the card with. Paper, pearls, buttons and ribbon are all from my stash. I'm kind of reducing my inventory a little at a time.

Well that's it for today. I will be back in a few more days with another card front that I made ahead of time. Your visits are always appreciated.

Blessings and hugs,
Barb

  12. Barb, hope you are improving as back pain is no fun. I really enjoy your cards too so be patient and heal up. It is amazing that you can color the mini's so beautifully, I cannot at all, let alone see them. I love looking at them. Take care.

  22. Hi Barb, your card is gorgeous! The coloring of the scene that you have created is beautiful! I hope your back is feeling much better! I occasionally have lower back pain as well. I recently bought a Moji Back Pain Reief System from Relax the Back that has a heat and cold cell that has really helped. Take care!
