Clean & Simple and a Shaker Card Tutorial

Image
Hi everyone and thanks for hopping by here today. My card for today is another shaker card. Can you tell that I like them? LOL :-) I choose a clean and simple layout to make the shaker really stand out. I also did a mini-tutorial on how to make them on our Belles 'n Whistles blog. For the tutorial please click here.  I used Tube Wear from Belles 'n Whistles Spring, Cleaning and Summertime Collection. The image was stamped onto cryogen white paper from Arjo Wiggins with Tuxedo Black ink from Memento. I colored using my Copics. As I said a chose a clean and simple layout with no DP's which was also inspired by a sketch/card from Suzanne . For decorations, besides the shaker pouch,  I only used a little glitter (holo glitter from Viva), 2 buttons and some tiny half pearls. Hope you like my clean and simple card and let me know if you liked the tutorial as well! Love and Hugs,

For all the details on the challenge and all the stunning creations of my DT sisters please see our challenge blog .For my card I used a quarter circle shape.
