Summertime Shaped Shaker Card — Take 2 :) | CraftyPaws

After I shared my first beach pail shaped shaker card (HERE), I had lots of requests for a tutorial on how to construct it.  Plus a super sweet little girl told her mommy (who told me) that she thought that first card was “sooo beautiful” when she saw my YT video. I knew I had to make one especially for her. 🙂

20150806_114607I used the following dies from Diemond Dies for the construction:
The shaped base and all the layering base pieces: Bucket Mini Album Die
The dimensional bow at the top of the card: Bow Dies Set
The shovel shaker pieces and inside shovel accent: Sand Pail and Shover Die Set
The inside message area: Labels 2 Die

I used Whimsy Stamps’ “skippy and bobbin,” which was the first girl image stamp I ever bought (that was 2 years ago when I first started crafting on YouTube–WOW 2 years goes by fast when you’re having so much fun!). When I saw this stamp, I fell in love with this little girl and her best friend/golden retriever puppy (I can’t help but make up stories in my head about certain stamped images–LOL).

The following are the Copic colors I used to color up the image:
Skin: E50, 51, 53, 13 and R20 blush
Hair: E55, 57, 59 and 79
Pink parts of outfit: RV000, 02 and 04
Blue parts of outfit: B00, 01 and 04
White parts of outfit and puppy’s sailor’s cap: C1 and C3
Golden retriever puppy: E50, 53 and 55
I also added some sparkle on flowers of girl’s outfit and puppy’s dog tag with a Silver Metallic Sakura Gelly Roll Pen.

I wanted to make this card fun and feminine, as according to her mom, the recipient is definitely a “girly girl.” 🙂  However, I wanted it to be clean and simple too so that Skippy and Bobbin would be the center attraction. I kept it relatively clean by using only 3 metallic papers–a gorgeous damask in blue for the background sky, a shiny darker blue for the background ocean, and a soft shimmery cream for the bucket handle, dimensional bow, and beach sand.

The following is a process video sharing how I made this card:

This card is being entered into the following challenges:
