Birthday Card with Pink & Main

 My mom turns 70 this year!  And she loves turtles.  These Pink & Main turtles were perfect to be part of this shaker card.  I chose to put the sentiment on the inside (which I didn't take a picture of before sending it off).

The stamp set is Turtley Awesome which I colored with Copics along with the Large Circle Burst die from Memory Box.  

Shaker Birthday Card with Hero Arts - 2018

It is so fun making these shaker cards!

Here I used the chili pepper and a sentiment from the April 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.  I stamped the chili peppers repeatedly on my background (some are even mirror stamped for more fun), then I colored them with Copics.

I cut my frame using Taylored Expressions Stitched Frame Stacklets.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on black cardstock them cut into a flag and adhered to the acetate window.

Shaker Birthday Card with Hero Arts - 2018

My first shaker card!

I absolutely adore the "Mermaid Kisses" stamp set by Hero Arts.  I colored a few of the images with my Copics.  For the water background, I followed this tutorial by Rachel Bergfeld.  I die cut the Hero Arts "Reef Border" and left it white to keep the focus on the mermaid and the background.  The sequins were a mixture of those from my stash.
