Peony Bloom shaker card with Svetlana

Hello friends! It’ Svetlana from Russia here and I’m very happy to share a new card idea with you! I would love to know where do you find inspiration to make your cards? I find inspiration everywhere and for today’s card, I was inspired by a flower bouquet my beloved children gave me. I tried to recreate the glass flower base by adding a shaker. In the video below I show how I made this card. How I made this card I used Nuvo black ink to stamp the flowers from Peony Bloom stamp set on watercolor paper. Then I applied colours using Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens. Once I finish colouring the flowers, I sprayed water over them to create beautiful white speckles. Next, I fussy cut the flowers and the leaves and with the help of rectangular dies, I die cut a frame on the front panel of the card. I added a watercolour panel to the card base and I painted the flowers stems also using Nuvo Aqua Flow pens. To create the shaker. I simply glued a piece of acetate behind the die-cut frame and I added double-sided foam adhesive tape behind it to create a box for the confetti. I poured confetti over the painted watercolour panel and I carefully adhered the front panel over To finish I glued the flowers, leaves and I added a beautiful sentiment . The card was ready! This is a very simple and easy card but it turns out beautiful! That’s all for now! Thanks for your attention!Hugs! Svetlana SUPPLIES LIST
