Ghostly Greetings Halloween Shaker Card

Posted by Leanne West | Oct 12, 2020 | Uncategorized

Hello everyone! Leanne here with you. In an effort to be better about using my abundant stash of sequin mixes, I have made an infinity shaker card to share today. This Halloween themed shaker features images from an older stamp set called Ghostly Greetings. I started by making the shaker part which is simply a stamp storage pocket with an A2 sized panel of white card stock and the Halloween sequin mix. Once the pocket is sealed up, I decorated the outside. I die cut the Gallery Frame #3 from black glitter card stock and again from orange card...

The gel plate gives lots of texture to the print, with some white specks which give the look of snow. From the print, I die cut a large circle and adhered it to my card...
