Hello crafty friends. Today I'd like to share some cards made for the Creative Embellishments Monthly Challenge for June. You still have plenty of time to "get in the game".
Be inspired by the image below, grab some Creative Embellishments products, and spend some "you" time. It's that easy. Once your done, add your link to the Creative Embellishments blog post. There are multiple ways to link projects. The blog has all the details.
Well, there is a little twist that we like to toss in just for fun. This month's twist? Add lace to your project.
Here are the chipboard pieces used on the cards featured today:
The unicorn base was painted white and colored paper for the unicorn hair.
The fairy and moon were embossed with gold.
Nothing fancy - super easy.
I was inspired by the mystical fairy, and the way she is illuminated with a gold aura. I added the gold tulle as my version of an aura. It's also my take on the lace twist.
She also is floating on a bed of bead and sequin shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More. I thought they added fascinating texture to the card. They are adhered with gel medium.
Next is the fabulous Creative Embellishments - Unicorn Shaker. This adorable design fits right in with the whole fantasy theme of the challenge image. Once again, the shaker mix is from Buttons Galore.
I love the shakers from CE because each set comes with perfectly matching acrylic.
The Shaker Mix
The magic to any shaker is the shaker mix. A fabulous shaker needs great mix which is why I love mixes from Buttons Galore.
They have so many colors, options and choices loaded with traditional sequins, uniquely shaped sequins, beads, buttons, gems, crystals, and more.
The shaker mix used on the unicorn card is Buttons Galore Sequins in Cello Bags- Lilac Ps747 and the sequin mix accents on the fairy moon card are from Buttons Galore - Plum Fancy PS766 - a blend of unique sequins.

My new favorite glue for assembling chipboard shaker cards is Nuvo - Deluxe Adhesive because you can add the thinnest line of glue to each chipboard piece when building the walls of the shaker. It's not runny or drippy and dries super clear. I also don't have to panic if I have a little glue on the acrylic window. Since it's crystal clear there is no worries.
