Tulle shaker card

Hello blog friends!

Today I have a card that was inspired by Jennifer McGuire.

Yes!  Her again, she is one of my biggest inspirations.

Here is her post that inspired me

I never thought about using tulle on a card before, especially

not to make a shaker card.  But it really does work very well.

I started by stamping the flowers from

"Daisy Thanks"  by Stampendous 

onto white card stock and colored them with my 

Fantasia Colored Pencils

then fussy cut them.

Since I was using tulle in this way, I wanted to put the 

flowers on the inside of the card so the back of the ones on the front

wouldn't show.

I had to have a "mirrored" image of the flowers to do this.

I stamped the image onto a piece of acrylic with VersaFine ink.

I then carefully took the piece of acrylic and turned it over and 

laid it down onto the piece of white card stock, 

leaving a reversed image.

It didn't turn out as clear and crisp as the regular stamping did,

but it was good enough to work with.  I went over the outlines with 

black pen, once I had the image colored.

I fussy cut the parts I needed to cover the backs of the flowers,

I didn't do a perfect job, but I think for my first time trying this,

I did pretty well.

Here is the inside of the card.  

I found it very easy to make this type of shaker card using tulle.

Watch Jennifer McGuire's video and I'm sure you'll find it's pretty easy too.

Here is what I thought was the finished card, 

now looking at it, I thought it needed something more.

I added dash lines around the outer edge of the card with

a black pen and I think that makes a lot of difference.

Here is the final result.  I think it really needed that

bit of black around the edge.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today,

I'm so glad you did.

Until next time,

try something new and outside the box!
