Monochrome Matey

Morning all,

The Sun has gone back to where it had been hiding and it's another grey and rainy day here so my first card is very fitting. Here it is:


This was a bit of a tough one as the challenge at Allsorts this week was a shaker card. I don't do shaker cards as each time I have tried they have looked rubbish but I thought I would give it one more go. The boy is from a free CD from a magazine, I coloured him with Promarkers and cut around him leaving just a little white edge. The papers are from Dovecraft and the backing card is from my stash. Then for the shaker I have used my spellbinders dies to cut out all the parts, then filled it with little stars and a sentiment and stuck it together. I finished the card with a some ribbon and little buttons. I am really pleased with this one and may even try another shaker card in the future.

I am entering this card into the following chsllenge:

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sketch
Paperplay Challenges - Monochrome and Ribbon
The Cutie Pie Challenge - Monochromatic
Allsorts - Shaker Card
Crafty Cardmakers - For the Boys

  1. Fantastic card Kelly with a great image and fab design, I'm so pleased you gave shaker cards another go! I have to admit, even though it was my theme, my shaker card nearly ended up in the bin as it wasn't going the way I wanted, but I stuck with it and was pleased with the end result!
    Thanks for entering my Shaker card Challenge over at Allsorts this week and good luck!
