Lisa is throwing a tea party this week for Christi (Craf-T-Bear). Christi is having health issues and we would love to cheer her.
My card was created using a Sizzix Impresslits frame with matching die cut. I love being able to emboss and cut at the same time.
I die cut two of the kitties and fussy cut one, then placed inside the frame.
My card is what Jennifer McGuire (you tube) shows as a fake shaker card. I just placed sequins to the top and punched some stars which I colored with Copics. You do not need to use acetate for this easy card. Of course, none of it will shake. But, I do love the ease of making it.
I used Copics to color the kittens and stars. Hope Christi will like it.

Your kitties look wonderful framed with those beautifully embossed flowers! The idea of a faux shaker card really intrigues me. So much more straight forward! :-) What a cheerful pick-me-upper this card is!
Wonderful, Brenda ! The combination of elegant animal friends and flower frame dies is awesome. Love how you put sequins to make a shaker look. A whole beautiful design. TFS !

Brenda this is so cute!! I love kitty cats - and the way you have them tucked in your card is such a clever idea!

Brenda this is fabulous...love that "fake" shaker technique, and it especially pretty with this beautiful embossed circle of flowers. Love those cute kitties and the colorful sequins completing the "fakeness!" Somehow "fake" doesn't quite go with this wonderful card! I think I like faux better...lol!
