Shaker card for a child

Hello Everyone,

How have you all been? I hope all's fine with you? 

All OK here, although I have absolutely no idea who is stealing all those hours from my days - it's simply impossible that I still have all of the 24 of them to use?! My bump is growing, the big due date time is closer and closer... and yet I feel that even though I am trying to catch up on everything, I am still nowhere with all the stuff I want done! LOL... Well, I'm kind of getting there, I guess... Most of the house renovations are finished and the nursery is starting to resemble a nursery more and more each day, so maybe I'm not doing too badly! 

My craftroom, however, is still mostly in boxes! Gotta work on unpacking over the coming week or so! 

Today I want to share with you a birthday card I made for a little 2 year old - even though the card is for a birthday girl, I was asked not to make it in girly colours. And the theme was... SUNGLASSES! I decided to go for a shaker card, and have to say that I am quite pleased with the result. Simple, of course - you know me! - but sufficiently entertaining for the little one. Hopefully the birthday girl likes it, I know her mammy does! :o)

I wouldn't be myself if I hadn't added some Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents, of course! 



I am entering the card into the following challenges:
Runway Inspired Challenge - Custo Barcelona
(that outfit would do with a shaker element in the "window", too, LOL)

Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes


I will probably need another while before I'm back to regular crafting (unless someone does the unpacking for me!), so bear with me! 

Have a great week,
M.

  1. This is so cute! The gloss and sparkle on the sunglasses frames make them look all the more real. Clever idea for a shaker. The little one will love this! Thanks for joining our QKR Stampede Children's Birthday Challenge!
