Simon Says Stamp - Darling Duckling Easter Shaker Card

Hello Lovelies! Today's Easter Shaker card is an even easier iteration on the previous post, but I've got a brand new adorable friend in a Darling Duckling!

We'll use the same technique to create the embossed ink-blended gradient but the focal point is the shaker window for a Happy Easter wish!

CARD HIGHLIGHTS

CREATING THE TEXTURED RAINBOW BACKGROUND

1. Ink 4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock using Large Blending Brushes with Carnation and Sunbeam ink and blend overlapping colors to create the pink-orange-yellow gradient on the left.

2. Emboss the gradient with the Dotty Diamonds Embossing Folder.

3. Heat-set to ensure the ink is fully dried.

4. Lightly drag a Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink Pad across the raised surface of the embossed cardstock to highlight the raised dots.

CREATING THE SHAKER WINDOW

1. Ink-blend Carnation onto white cardstock and die-cut with the Happy Easter sentiment.

2. Die-cut a shaker window into the embossed gradient layer using the "Happy Easter" sentiment outline die.

3. Use double-sided tape to secure a piece of acetate to the back of the embossed layer to create the "window". Using Craft Glue, adhere the die-cut sentiment to the acetate window. Apply foam tape around the perimeter of the opening and the embossed layer.

4. Secure a folded card-base to your craft surface with painter's tape or similar.

5. Place a pile of Cottontail sequins in the center of the card base.

6. Adhere the embossed layer over the sequins.

3. Adhere the layers with Craft Glue to assemble.
