Shaker card TMR

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for  
 
I haven't done a shaker card in I don't know when, I had a few ideas, but none came to fruition. Then going through some file images I found this one, that I had used in 2013! Looks like he stood the test of time! I decided a little more CAS for this. I die cut a frame, then die cut a sentiment, I cut 6 layers of the circle frame adding the acetate between the top circle and the next. Then added the sentiment die cut over them all. The sequins were placed in the circle and a white complete circle was added to keep them in place.
 
I took the image into Silhouette and cut 3 layers out of textured card, all glued together, with added 3D glaze for his eyes and the dots on his hat. They were all then attached to the main card. I have a few men boys in the family who this would be suitable for.
image - Bugaboo. (miss them)
coloured with Photoshop
oblong die - Card Making Magic
sentiment die - lost packaging, I've had it many years. Could be Tonic?
sequins - stash 
holographic card - B&M

That is such a cute shaker card with that fun Bugaboo critter! I love the shiny frame but especially like how you designed the shaker! Fun card!

Super fun card Faith. Good idea to layer up the circles. I use foam tape but the shaker elements can get stuck to it so I’ll try and remember to use your method next time. X

Sorry, I'm so far behind in commenting but have a huge project on the go that is taking up all of my spare time. I LOVE this card what a fantastic design and I love how you did the shaker part keeping all of the sequins just inside the circle. Your whiskery friend doesn't seem to be too happy even though you coloured them beautifully and gave the a gorgeous frame.

Oh wow Faith, this is like a 'how to' lesson. I too have tried to make shaker cards in the past but had problems stopping the glitter from leaking, now I can see where I went wrong. I used 3D foam but I can see that layers of card would work so much better, thank you.

As well as a brilliant master class, this is also a fabulous card. One which anyone would be thrilled to receive.
