Bunny Shaker and Cowgirl Party

Hello Nomad friends.  My Favourite Things are having one of their Camp Create events and I was hoping to join in with all 5 of the challenges before close of play on Wednesday.  The first challenge is shakers and I have a bit of an up and down love/hate relationship with these.  Coincidentally Josi had a really cute shaker on the Rubber Dance blog today and her lovely tutorial made me pull on my big girl panties and go for it.

I love this big time.  Hugs and bunny!  What more could you want???   I used a burlap patterned card panel and cut MFT Big Hugs die.  I stamped one of MFT Easter Bunnies on the card panel and also on a scrap of white card.  I coloured and fussy cut the bunny and glued him over the stamped image.  I've used a scrap of plastic packaging for my window and craft foam for the layer.  I used the stripey side of a Kort og Godt patterned card for my card base. 

Inside the pattern is stars and I cut a panel of paper and stamped the bunny again.


I also wanted to enter the Emboss Resist challenge.  I found a scrap of card I had already stamped and embossed with Rubber Dance Buttons and white embossing powder.  I gave it a watercolour wash with Worn Lipstick distress ink, wiped off the embossed areas and cut with two stitch rectangle dies.  I inked all the edges with pink Promarker, inside and out, and glued them on to a base card.  I found a pink scrap that was big enough for a panel and the sentiment strip.  I cut it with the small stitched rectangle die and stamped MFT cowgirl from Saddle Up and Celebrate.  I stamped the sentiment from the same set on the remaining strip.  I coloured the cowgirl with Promarkers and added a little glitter to her hat.  I cut round her feet so I could slip the sentiment banner behind them.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Love these two Gail. your shaker has worked really well on the first card. I know what you mean about making shaker cards, don't do it often myself, I get too cross with it! I love the stars inside and the extra little bunny stamp. The button background on your cowgirl stamp is very clever. She looks really cool, love the colours too. It was so nice to see you in the we love Chocolate Baroque gallery this month xx
