Balloons shaker


How months go by so quickly... Yes it's time for a new challenge at STAMPlorations Theme and Photo Prompt. The theme and photo are:


Both made me think about parties and celebrations where balloons often pop up, so this was my inspiration for this card. With a different colour scheme (whites & gold for instance) it could be adapted for weddings. A shaker element allows confetti to be dynamic without getting the recipient covered in it!


I stamped the balloons from the A Snarky Birthday to You in Memento grey ink and the stars in red and oranges and used pencils for the colouring.

To make the shaker element I used 2 dies held together with masking tape to make my outer frame (Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies). I cut 3 additional frames out of cereal boxes instead of a single one cut out of foam and glued all 3 together. This is both cheaper and easier to use than the foam as foam can distort and show under the top cardstock frame.

My confettis are White Frost - ShakerBlends.

Do check out what my teamies made on the STAMPLorations blog, then you have a whole month to create something for the challenge and be in with a chance to win a prize…
