my first Shaker card ......

Hello :)  I have been so busy making DT cards!  Being on 3 Design Teams is a lot of work ... but I'm loving it!  Its making me think more about what I'm creating and what I can do differently.

Today's card I made just because ....... and I tried something I have never done before .... a shaker card.
Well it has been a big learning curve for me!  Firstly the double sided foam stuff I used didn't stick properly and so it kept falling apart.  So then I tried some different tape and this stuck so well and quickly that it was all crooked and I couldn't get the acetate off to try again.  So back to square one and luckily I found some different foam tape and managed to put it together.

 Sorry about the angle ... my daughter is napping so I had to sneak into the kitchen and take this photo ..... there wasn't enough light anywhere else as its a really windy and wet day here today.

 This is it laying down .... but then it's hard to tell it's a shaker card.

 The absolutely gorgeous Druscilla from Tiddly Inks ... I got her as part of my prize from the Tiddly Inks Blog for being the monthly winner in August ... how lucky was I to win!

Just a bit closer for you so you can see the wings a bit better.

I coloured the lovely Druscilla in the following copic markers:-
V12, 15, 17 for dress
BG09 for top
E 31, 35 & 37 for hair
E000, 00, 02 for skin

For her wings I used some Ranger Stickles for the pattern and then carefully went around the rest of the wing area with Ranger Ice Stickles.

Better finish up this post .... the little one is due to wake up any minute ... full of demands :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
Tiddly Inks Challenge #66 Use Acrylic
Flutter By Wednesday #173 Anything Goes

oh and that will have to do because I can hear "Mummy!  Mummy!  Mummy!"

See you again later :)
