Gemini Birthday Shaker Card (CASology Week #366 mid-inspiration)


Hi everyone! :o)


Last Tuesday, April 14th, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology
This fortnight's cue word is Zodiac. :o)



There's still plenty of time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, April 27th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: STAMPlorations. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.




I had one more card that fits our cue, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration. I created the card last year, but I didn't share it anywhere yet.

And here is my 2nd take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), interactive, Gemini Birthday Shaker Card. :o)


Design defined: 
Shaker element can work well on CAS card.


How I made my card....

To make my card I used stamps from two Mama Elephant stamp sets: a Gemini image from 'Cosmic Stars' and a sentiment from 'Starry Night'.

I stamped the image on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the image and traced edges with black marker.

I stamped another image on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut it, leaving thin white border around it. I colored the image in black.

Then I glued together two images, watercolored one and black one. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin.

Next up was a shaker window.

First I die-cut a circle in a white cardstock paper panel, glued an acetate sheet over the window and stamped the sentiment on the panel.

Then I blended Distress Inks directly on a white top folded card base. I splattered the ink blended part with water and repeated process until I was satisfied with a color. I glued 3 mm thick foam squares on the panel, filled window with shaker mix and glued the panel on the card base.

Lastly, I glued some 3-D foam on the image, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)


Card measurements:  95 mm x  127 m(3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:
