Let's Eat Cake from Celebration Hamsters by Mama Elephant

Happy Wednesday everyone…… wishing you all a lovely day today.

I was at my Spanish ladies group last night and I cant wait to show you what I am working on - I'm loving learning another new skill and this is definitely something I will do again.

We had more wonderful rain and amazing thunder and lightning last night which is fantastic for the garden but not as good for sleeping and it's definitely very hot and humid today. 

JJ has been busy in the garden re-routing some of the watering system and building new steps - he never stops !

Today I am sharing a sweet shaker card that I've made using a set of clear stamps by Mama Elephant called Celebration Hamsters.

The card design has been inspired by a card sketch challenge for the month of June in a Facebook group I belong to. 

I stamped the sweet little hamsters onto alcohol marker friendly cardstock using memento ink and then used my Promarkers to colour them in (see below for colours used) before fussy cutting out with my scissors. A little fiddly but that's part of the challenge that was set.

I've used my new stitched dies to create the shaker panel, adding a piece of pink striped paper to the card base to begin with.

I used 2 other dies to create the shaker window, the larger dies to cut the outside edge and then one of the smaller dies in the set to cut 4 windows.  

Its really easy to create this look without having to use an expensive die plate - just a little careful measuring and preparation for the shaker window.   Each window has ben filled with a different colour of sequin / confetti.

I hope that you like my card today.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day ☀️
