A shaker with Roots in Nature & Woodlands Embossing Folder

This has been my week for making shaker cards.

Today I thought I would combine the Woodlands embossing folder and Rooted In Nature stamp set and framelits to make another shaker card.


After embossing some Whisper White card stock with the Woodlands embossing folder and sponging it lightly with Basic Gray ink an aperture was die cut using the Layering Oval framelit.  A larger oval window sheet was adhered to the  wrong side of the opening and some 3/8" mini chevron Old Olive ribbon adhered to the left front.

Foam tape was applied around this opening as well as on the card stock edges and the shaker elements added to the center.

The basic Always Artichoke card stock base was layered with Whisper White card stock upon which the image of the tree from Rooted in Nature was stamped using Mossy Meadow ink.



After the two layers were adhered together, I stamped, embossed, and die cut some leaves as embellishments for the right side. Clear Wink of Stella was applied to the leaves (one of which was stamped and die cut in vellum), and a bow of Linen Thread added to the leaf stems.  Part of the sentiment was also added under the leaves, with the final part placed on the inside of the card.

Stamp:  Rooted in Nature
Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Basic Gray, Old Olive
Papers:  Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Vellum
Accessories:  Woodlands embossing Folder, Nature's Roots Framelits, Linen Thread, 3/8" mini chevron Old Olive ribbon, Shaker sequins(non SU), Window Sheet, Layering Oval Framelits, Foam tape
