Karten-Kunst - Happy Birthday to you

Hi there,

today, I would like to show you this CAS Shaker-Card that I created for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut a window from white cardstock and cover the backside with a piece of acetate
• stamp the sentiment from Karten-Kunst Inchie-Grüße 2 with StazOn Spiced Chai directly to the acetate (be careful the surface is rather slippery - ask me how I know :o)) - but don't worry ... if you mess up, you can start over after cleaning the acetate with alcohol or StazOn Cleaner)
• add faux stitching with a dark sepia PITT Artist Pen on the frontside and two-layers of foam tape around the window on the backside
• fill the shaker element with three colors of seed beads and create a background with patterned paper from the DCWV Linen Closet Matstack
• adhere the panel to a white cardbase using foam dots
• stamp the adorable little hedgehog from Penny Black Critter Time with Versafine Vintage Sepia on white cardstock and color the image with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils and Zest-it

Here is a close-up of the cute little fellow:
