Sweet Shaker Hearts

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today! I recently got my hands on the Heart Nesting Dies from Time For Tea Designs and had to make a shaker with them and the cute little characters from Sweet Cart Critters.

I used my Beautiful Blender Brushes to ink-blend several colours onto an A6 white card base. The colours were as follows: yellow; squeezed lemonade Distress Ink, Butter Bar Hero Arts Shadow Ink, blue; tumbled glass Distress Ink, Surf and Ocean Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated inks, green; Altenew Limeade Bamboo.

For added interest, I added splatter with water, silver metallic watercolour and a paintbrush and set it aside to dry.

I used the largest Simple Nesting Dies – A6 to cut patterned paper from the Pawsome Rainbows 6x6' Paper Pad. I used two dies from the Heart Nesting Dies to cut three open areas in this patterned paper piece. I placed the openings in the areas where I had ink blended.

I added acetate to the back of the patterned paper with double-sided tape. Then I added 3mm double-sided tape to the back of this and stuck it down to the inked card base. I had placed clear and coloured sequins in the appropriate areas before adhering down the hearts panel.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from Sweet Cart Critters and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

The two sentiment stamps were from Warm Hugs and cut out with the coordinating die set.
