My first shaker card!

I've fancied making a shaker card for ages, and I came across some acetate when I tidied my stash a few weeks ago so thought I'd have a go.  Of course it took another half hour to find the flippin acetate again from the I'll know where I put that now spot LOL

So for day 18 of the Daily Marker colouring challeng, I have a cute little bunny from Eat Cake Graphics:
50505-F Flopsy bunny's got an egg

Coloured with watercolour pencils and clear gloss added to the egg.  Little carrots in the background from Paper Smooches; sentiment is from an old Stampin Up set.
I think I should have used thicker dimensionals to pop the top layer up - I only used 1mm and the sequins kinda get stuck a bit in it.  Ah well, I'll know better for next time!

Such a cute card! My first shaker card is a work in progress, why did I think that making a fishbowl shaped shaker bag was a good idea?! You've inspired me to go back and have another go at it! Cara x

(No idea why I keep calling Easter cards Christmas cards today... Maybe It's denial concerning the vast amounts of chocolate that will be making their way to our house! lol) x

Your shaker card is so cute! They're tricky to get just right with the right-sized pieces for the shaker, etc. You've managed it beautifully. This would be a super fun Easter card to receive.

This is such an adorable shaker card! The look on the bunny's face says it all. Love the little carrots in the background of the shaker part and your colouring is lovely. And yes, I have one of those spots on my desk as well. ;) Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Cards!
