Happy Rakhi

Good Evening Everyone!

Happy Raksha Bandhan to you all. Rakhi is a festival of India which celebrates the auspicious bond between brothers and sisters.

So today I am gonna share a SHAKER CARD which I have made for my elder brother.

Here is a sneek peak..

Shaker Card

I have tried to keep the card simple. I took a white A4 sheet and folded it. Then I took two small white rectangular pieces of paper and colored them blue giving an ombre effect. On the pieces the message " Because I have a BROTHER, I will always have a FRIEND" was hand written. After pasting them on white sheet I attached the shaker element( sequins and black pearls) over them (Doesnt it look like evening sky with stars). I have also tried some embossing on the sides. Finally decorated the card with black strips and blue punched flowers.


Here is the final card..

Happily ever crafter giveaway
I have recently joined the crafting world. 1 month back hadn't even heard the terms like embossing,die cutting,mixed media etc etc.So you can guess that my list of things I wanna try is very long. In this card I have tried little bit of embossing. I didn't have proper tools. So I used quilling strips and fevi stick cap.😆
