Sunshine Kisses&Rainbow Wishes

I wanted to share another really cute 

card I made today.

This time, I made a shaker card with an

adorable stitched cloud die I have.

Hope you like it!

(click to enlarge pic.)

I used the Stitched Rainbow die from Papertrey Ink

and a Cloud die from an unknown source.

The background is the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables

die from Lawn Fawn.

The sun is from the Beach Palm Tree and Sun file by

Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette Store (Design ID 28210).

I couldn't find the right stamp to use for 

my sentiment so I typed this one up  

and did a print and cut on my Silhouette.

In order to create my shaker, 

I cut out 8 of the clouds with the cloud die and layered them

on top of each other with glue to create the depth needed

for the size of beads I was using.

You can check out this video I googled from YouTube HERE to get a

better idea of the layering effect.  She starts to layer at about min 3:30

on the video if you want to skip ahead.  It's a good video so you might

decide to watch the whole thing.

I ended up scanning and tracing the shape of the cloud to my 

Silhouette in order to cut the layer of acetate for

the face of the shaker.

I used Fun Foam for the top layer of my 

Cloud shaker and filled it with fishbowl beads.
I love how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed my card today!
