Shaking With Free As A Bird...

What does a shaking, watercoloring, sequins, AND fussy cutting all have to do with my post today?! Why...those are some of my favorite things AND just happen to all be elements of a shaker card I made! It is using the Free As A Bird Stamp Set. I am so excited to share this card with you!!!

Colors: Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold

Inks: Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Thick Whisper White, Shimmery White, Basic Black, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Free As A Bird

Tools: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Baker's Twine, Iridescent Sequin Assortment, Gray Granite 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon, White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder

Those birds make me smile! Do they have that affect on you?! Maybe you need to see them closer...

I stamped all of the images onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper in VersaMark ink, and embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. Then I just used ink and an Aqua Painter to color them in! I did some of the extra leaves and flower images so I could build up that main bird focal point. I mean seriously...
