A pair of mandala shaker cards for my first entry to the @aaabirthdaychallenge The theme this month is shaker windows so I thought it was the perfect chance to try this heat resistant acetate from @crafterscompuk It is so much fun to use!! I love that it opens up options for different techniques, including using heat embossing on the shaker window itself. I am in love with the way this turned out and I'm looking forward to trying some more techniques with this soon.

Today I've got my second entry to the @aaabirthdaychallenge for January to share. This time it's a children's shaker birthday card. I love the vibrancy and blending you can get with alcohol markers but sometimes they can be really intimidating. The easiest way to add some quick shading that blends in nicely is by colouring the whole area in your lighter colour, then 'dotting' a darker colour where you want some shade. In the darkest area you need to make your dots very tightly packed, overlapping each other even, then your dots become more sparse as you get towards your highlights. Then go over the whole thing with your lightest colour again to blend, and you're done!! . . . . . @lawnfawn I'm so Jelly & Seahorsin' around @wowembossing Rich Gold & Clear ep's @winsorandnewton brushmarkers @altenewllc Tall Alpha's die set #art #arttherapy #cardmaking #craftblog #diecutting #handmadecards #handmade #handmadecrafts #lookatthatcolourthough #papercraft #creative #childrenscards #shakercard #distressoxideinks #lawnfawn #underthesea #handmadecardsoftheday #craftersofinstagram #craftersgonnacraft #cardmakersofinstagram #wowembossingpowder #taylorswift #taylornation #taylurking #thisweeksmakes https://www.instagram.com/p/B7gK-K4JhGy/?igshid=1fkkt3dumsujt
