A big congrats to Donna, the newest Featured Stamper! I didn't have to go far to find THIS card to case. I kept the shaker card & most of the colors & layout, but I used different images, a star shaped shaker instead of a round one, & used a cowboy/southwest theme on mine.
For my star shaker, I started by stamping the cowboy garb image, coloring w/ Copics, then I did a little into the window to keep from cutting off the top of the boots when I die cut the stitched star opening. I made a larger star shaped pouch out of a page protector, sealed the edges but leaving one edge open, filled it w/ sequins, stars & little punched cowboy boots, then sealed the remaining edge. After attaching the shaker pouch behind the opening, I added foam tape all behind the panel & attached it to another white back panel. A couple of narrow frames (one brown, one turquoise) were added behind it before attaching to the card. The Howdy was die cut & I used some of the same Copics to color it to match.
Congrats again, Donna! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow, what a great shaker! I see some little cowboy boots in the confetti, which are SO cool. Wonderful coloring of the western images and the star shape for your shaker window is inspired!
