An old technique

Good morning blogland,

As it's the first Saturday of the month, can you believe it's August already!, we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge. This month our Sponsor is the super cute Paper Nest Dolls and our theme is a super easy 'Anything Goes'

The Design Team were very kindly allowed to pick a digi from the shop and this is my make with the image I chose. I also decided to do something different, for me anyway, a shaker card. I've haven't made one of these in the longest time - maybe something like 10 years. This is my second attempt as I made the silly basic mistake of gluing the acetate and the 3d foam on in the wrong order - made a basket not a frame and nowhere to put my beads!  Duh!! 

Here is attempt number two. Looking at it now I think I could've put more beads in but hey-ho, I'll know better next time!

Supplies used:

Digital Stamp:
Paper Nest Dolls - Cupcake Emma
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Taylored Expressions - Oh My Word: Happy Birthday

Dies:
Poppy Stamp - Scalloped Stitched Frames
Creative Expressions - Double stitched square frame

Papers:
First Edition - Let's Celebrate

I would strongly suggest you pop over to the blog and take a look at my Teamies work, they have made some stunning cards - I know you'll be super impressed, I was.  While you're there you could link up your latest project and be in with the chance to win a lovely prize!

Annnnd, that's all from me folks, I'll be back but it may not be soon!
See you around,
Sarah
