Fall Shaker

Hi there,

I created another fall card for the Karten-Kunst Blog. This time it is a shaker:

• use the leftover kraft cardstock from a previous project with the word "Herbst"/"Fall" cut out from it using the Karten-Kunst Lucky Alphabet
• turn the strip into a shaker using acetate, double-sided foam adhesive and sequins
• create a background on kraft cardstock using the Karten-Kunst Borders and Versafine Clair Portobello
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
• add some splatters with watered-down white acrylic paint

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
