Hello friends!  It’s time for another monthly Birthday Project Challenge from My Favorite Things!  This month is all about shaker cards!  There’s just something that’s so much fun about a card that shakes, lol.

   My card today features the BB Happy Hippos Set combined with Blueprints Die-namics 31.  I stamped my hippos onto smooth white card stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers (all colors used are listed at the very bottom of this post).  I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  For the plaid background of my card, I used the Sweet Celebration Paper Pack.  I diecut some ink blended grass (Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks) using the Grassy Fields Die-namics.

For the cloudy sky background, I blended some Sno Cone Premium Dye Ink over top of the Clouds Stencil.  I stamped my sentiment on top of the sky and used the circle shaker pouches to add my embellishments.  For my embellishments, I combined some beautiful Pretty Pink Posh Lemon Drop, Pansy Purple, Pink Blush, Sea Glass, Shamrock, Aquamarine and Amethyst Jewels.  Lastly, I added my images with some foam squares for added dimension.

Don’t forget to stop by the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Blog to see what other shaker card designs participating team members have come up with and for more info on how to play along for a chance to win!
