To make this shaker card, I used the new Splish Splash stencil and also the Caffeinated Rhino stamp set. I love how the stamp set has the cute bird included.
I started with an A2 sized white cardstock panel. Using an oval die, I cut the swimming hole out of the bottom corner. Then onto a separate white panel, I blended Mermaid Lagoon Distress oxide ink over the stencil. This will be the back of the shaker.
Next, I masked off a the stencil so I could create the splash coming out of the top of the pool using the same colour ink.
Then onto Copic friendly white cardstock, I stamped the rhino and 3 birds. I had to reverse stamp the last bird in order to get him facing the opposite way. To do this, I stamped the bird onto acetate then carefully placed white cardstock over that and applied pressure to transfer the image onto the card stock. Now I was ready to colour them then fussy cut them all out. The copics I used were:
Rhino: C0, C1, C2, C3 Eye:B24 Mug:Y00, Y06
Swim trunks:B00, BG01, BG06 stars:Y06
Birds: Yellow: YY00, Y06, Y17
Blue: B00, BG01, B24
Orange: C01, Y06, YR02, YR07
I really wanted the rhino to look like he was standing in the swimming hole, so I decided to cut a slit in the acetate (with my exacto knife) so I could slip his legs through but no sequins could escape.
Once I had the rhino legs in, I placed double sided foam tape all along the rim of the pool. Then I put a bunch of sequins into the area I created. To seal up the shaker, I used the stenciled background I made and placed it on top of the foam tape making sure to get the panel right to the very corner of the acetate I had scored. Next I adhered the acetate onto the back of the stenciled panel.
I stamped the sentiment and bordered it with black cardstock. On the front, I adhered the sentiment, birds and placed double sided tape behind the portion of rhino sticking out of the pool. I backed the whole panel with blue card stock and adhered it to an A2 card base.
