I Love Shenanigans

I have another fun shaker card today using the same 'Irish Blessings' set I showed
on Sunday but just with a different stamp from the set.


I started with a square card stock, and a square 'window cut from the center.


I added 1/4" Tear-ific Tape around the square, then a piece of clear acetate.


Foam tape was then added around that.


Shamrock 'confetti' was then added, then covered with a background  piece I made by using a dot stencil
and Dreamweavers embossing paste, then Aztec Gold Glitter on the dots...kind of looks like gold coins.


It was then flipped over adhered to a card stock base.
To make it even more sparkle-y gold I added 1/8" Tearific Tape around the square shaker part
and 1/4" Tear-ific Tape around the outer edge, then coated with Gold Aztec glitter once again.


I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, 
colored it with Copics, added a bit of Aztec Gold glitter to the buckle,
then fussy cut it out.  Lady Luck glitter was added to the shamrocks using a bit of
Sakura Quicky Glue.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark, then embossed wth
Irish Spring embossing powder.

The entire piece was then adhered to a gold metallic paper using
1/2" Tear-ific Tape.
A bow made with RRR was added to finish..whew...that was along write up...lol.

Ha! "I love shenanigans". How funny! Cute, cute, cute! Those dots do look like gold coins. What a neat idea that was! These St. Patty's shakers you've made are just too much fun. You have to give them out with some of that gold coin candy. What a hoot!

Donna Ellis said...

Whoa! HOW GORGEOUS, Diane! Your gold coin background is so happy and offers the perfect backdrop for the lucky shamrocks in your amazing shaker card! It's been forever since I made one of those! I love what you have done with all the St. Patrick's day colors and symbols, incredible card! I recognized the bow immediately, and covet your bow making expertise! It's a beautifully sparkle-full creation, with so many fun components and design tips! I feel like I've been to class this morning! Thank you for sharing the creative process!
