Gill Friends for Inkspirational and Festive Friday

Happy Sunday.  Again! :-)

As it is a cold, miserable, wet, windy day, I decided it was time to go huddle in my craft room and play along with some challenges.  The two challenges across at Inkspirational and Festive Friday had me making a shaker card along with a little punny sentiment!

For my inso list I went with fish, shaker element and pun sentiment.

I inked up an old set from My Favorite Things called Gill Friends.  I stamped and colored two of the fish and some seaweed.  I fussy cut them and arranged them around a stitched die-cut circle on my front layer.  I adhered one fish to the background and popped up the other.  I then added some fun shaker elements with sequins and shells and added my fun pun sentiment.  I stamped another of the orange and green fish and added that to the inside along with the sentiment that reads "Birthday Fishes".

Here's a closeup of my shaker:

Here's the front of my card:

I had such fun making this card.  I generally don't make shakers as they drive me crazy with all the tape and foam and getting everything aligned.  But, it was really good to do something different.

I'll be back tomorrow with another card.  If you missed my Paper Players card you can check out the post showcasing SU's Sailing Home here.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.

Hugs
