Welcome to my last day of my Growing in Unity Girl week!!! I am happy that I was able to share some of my creations with you. I've listed all the days below to make it easier for you to find my posts.

Day 1 Monday

Day 2 Tuesday

Day 3 Wednesday

Day 4 Thursday

Day 5 Friday (this post)

For today's post, I used Strength & Dignity {KOM 11/13} and Faceless Beauty to create a colorful shaker card. These are always so fun to create and especially since I have switched over to using fun foam instead of foam tape.

I used Lil Inker Designs' Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles Dies to die-cut the outer frame from watercolor paper and then taped acetate sheet behind it. I took a size A2 watercolor paper for the inner part of the shaker and stamped the big flower from Strength & Dignity a few times with VersaMark ink. I heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. Then I stamped the sentiment from Faceless Beauty with VersaMark ink and heat embossed that in gold, too. Embossing is a great resistant when coloring. I used Altenew inks in Ruby Red, Grapevine and Warm Sunshine to do the watercoloring of the flowers. I used Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to color in blue around the flowers. I didn't color the whole background since I felt like leaving some part of it white would look good.

Once that was all done, I started filling the card with some sequins and beads from The Ton. This card is pretty full. A lot of the times, my friends don't know that you're supposed to shake a shaker...lol. So it's a good way to shake the card so you can read the sentiment. ;-) Hope you enjoyed my cards from this week! I have a new site I'm launching before the end of the month as well as an Etsy shop. Feel free to subscribe and/or check me on Instagram, where I tend to post the most.
