When I saw AAA Birthday's April challenge was for a shaker card I knew exactly what die I wanted to use as it had taken me a long time to track one down and that die is the Happy Birthday Circle Frame die from MFT stamps. Inkspirational also has a very cool rainbow mood board which I feel my rainbow colours play along nicely with as well (especially as I have rainbow letters). I'll also play along with Seize the Birthday's anything goes or I might be off the edge enough to be doing the "topping" with STB. And as you have to be in it to win it, I'm always pleased when Simon Says Stamp has an anything goes challenge.
I've just die cut my HB Circle frame out of white card stock and then Copic coloured the letters in a rainbow, made my shaker and then had to decide what image to add for some extra cute appeal. I'm still in love with my Party Animal set from Pink and Main so used the party chick and cupcake this time. As the chick is yellow I used the complementary colour which is supposed to be Violet for the background colour of the mat and for the cupcake icing. My final card is a 4-1/4" square.
Stamps: Party Animal (P&M)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Orchid Oasis (SU!), Neenah Solar White, Xpress IT blending
Dies: Happy Birthday Circle Frame (MFT), Stitched Scallop Square (PFS), Master Layouts 3 (GKD), Sweet Circle Stack (HB)
Other: Copics, acetate scrap, foam tape, Rainbow Sprinkle mix (PPP), white Gelli roll pen
Well I'd better go tidy up my wee craftastrophe but this in all honesty is a relatively easy card which is always fun to give, thanks for popping in and hope you can play along with some of these fabulous challenges.

Oh this is absolutely delicious! Love the sprinkles inside your shaker and the chick is just the cutest. Thanks so much for being such a loyal player at AAA Birthday. Stay safe and keep crafting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane I enjoyed the challenge
DeleteKaren, what a sweet, rainbow shaker card. Love all the fun colors. I think you could consider this an off the edge card with your little chick and cupcake hanging off of the circle. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda I wondered about that too, thanks for confirming that maybe I meet the optional twist as well.
