Mini Slimline Shaker Card

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The current theme is on Slimline (DL) Cards or Shaped Cards. 

I printed the image on Bristol Watercolor paper. I colored the image with Gansai Tambi Watercolor. I blended different colors of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide on the background using a self-made cloud stencil and a Picket Fence blender brush.

I created a frame for the image using a lavender cardstock cut at 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". I created a rectangular window using a rectangle die. I did partial die cutting to create a bigger window compared to the size of the die. You can also use a craft knife for this purpose. The window was cut more on the left edge of the panel, close to the card opening. I wll be adding the sentiment on the other side.

The die cut sentiment is from Trinity Stamps Mr. Snailman coordinating stamp set. I die cut the word hello on watercolor paper three times. I applied pearl white watercolor to these sentiment die cuts. I die cut the sentiment shadow on the same lavender cardstock I used for the card panel. I adhered the sentiment die cut on the shadow die cut. I adhered this to the wide border on the card front panel, snipping off the excess. 

I adhered an acetate to the back of the window panel. I applied foam adhesive, making sure that the foam strips are thin enough not to show through the window. I created a well around the window. 

I adhered the painted panel to the front of a slimline note card, centering the image on the window. I poured some holographic sequins on the top of the colored image. I adhered the window panel to this, making sure it is aligned to the card base. 

And what is a shaker card without seeing it in action? 

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations on the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
