Picket Fence Studios – Release IG Hop

Hey friends! I’m so happy to be joining Picket Fence Studios for their June release! Today we’re having an Instagram hop where there’s a $75 gift certificate to their shop up for grabs! So be sure to head there and hop along to increase your chances of winning.

I’m sharing two sweet rainbow cards for the hop today. A fabulous shaker card and a bonus I created with what I cut to create my shaker window.

I started my card by ink blending an A2 size panel with a rainbow of dye inks randomly all over. Then I spritzed it with water and blotted it dry. I love shine and shimmer so next I flicked pearl watercolor on the panel too.

I die cut the rainbow from the panel, saving those pieces for later, and then stamped my sentiment along the bottom. Next, I die cut the elephants from white cardstock and popped them up under the center of the rainbow with foam tape.

To turn this into a shaker card, I just added acetate to the back of the panel and lined it with foam tape. I sprinkled shaker bits inside and sealed it up with a piece of white cardstock. Then I glued the panel to a card base and it’s all finished.

To create my bonus card, I cut the rainbow shadow from white cardstock twice. I scored the top of one about 1/2 inch down and glued the two together at that flap only. This created my card base. Then I glued to rainbow pieces from my die to cut in place with liquid glue.

While that was drying with an acrylic block on top, I cut a banner and heat embossed my sentiment on it. I glued that across the center and finished things off with some pretty iridescent sequins.
