Billie A has chosen the theme for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz – slimline birthday. Here is my card:

Onto a slimline card base, I adhered a previously created yellow Distress Ink smooshed panel.
The shaker panel was created using a Pinkfresh Studio slimline cover plate.
I adhered acetate along the back to cover all three circles, placed 3D foam strips virtually everywhere on the back creating three ‘wells’ for the sequins – I didn’t want all the sequins to go to one end of another and to stay behind each window – added another piece of acetate to enclose all the wells – then adhered to the yellow panel and card base.
I find this method of creating a shaker uses more acetate – but it makes it soooo much easier to add the sequins, and then add to the card base. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stuck a shaker panel down wonky, or spilled all the sequins – this method stops that happening. Well, most of the time anyway.
The flowers are from Taylored Expressions – a little die kit from a past virtual event – and the sentiment was die cut from Spellbinders gold card stock.

I hope you can come and join us with your ‘slimline birthday’ creations. xx
