Twinkle Twinkle

Hi Crafters!  Here's a shaker card using the Slimline Stars Background die set.  I used a background I made earlier that used Pixie Powders.  I used Midnight Blue Pixies all over the card and spritzed it.  Once dry, I cut and mounted the Slimline Stars Background on top of it.  I used the Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frames and made a white frame.  I glued a piece of clear acetate across the back then added mounting foam all the way around the edge.  I added some medium sized clear Micro Beads in the frame, then added the Stars Background to it in order to create the area for the shaker bits.  I used some of the leftover pixied card and cut several stars and the sentiment from the Twinkle Twinkle Cloud and Stars die set.  I added the stars and the sentiment to the top of the acetate.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9" in size.  All for now. Sue x

  3. Hi Sue and all. Welcome to a stormy morning from Lancashire, its horrible out there.
    I can almost imagine a few of these as a decoration on a nursery wall. Maybe not as a shaker card as you've done, but with little LED lights added to the backside of the card (looks too complicated for me) but with your background and stars with the right sentiment from your new baby collection something as beautiful as this would make a gorgeous focal point in the tiny persons room. Stay safe everyone and keep well. Sending much love to all xxx
