A Star Shaker card (Art by Miran image & Bo Bunny papers)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I do love to make a shaker card now and I have managed to keep all the little stars and glitter pieces in this time, haha yay!! I have used papers (and a sketch) from Bo Bunny, these papers are called Love Letters. I have colored a gorgeous image from Art by Miran and I used my black Copic marker to carefully color the background of the image.

Basketball shaker card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I couldn't help myself, I had to create another shaker card hehe! I couldn't wait for my foam tape to arrive in the post so I bought some more at one of the local shops. 

This card is for a basketball star in the making and the cute little boy is from Bugaboo. I inked up some wooden stars to add to the outside of the card and the frame was embossed with a wooden embossing folder. I masked the green background paper and inked it with a more olive green to compliment his clothing.
