Welcome to another Guest Designer Sunday! We are so lucky to have Rubeena Naz from A Rare Ruby with us again!

Ruby made a fantastic, adorable shaker card for today! She actually wrote out her process and techniques for me  (yay!), so I’ll let her take it from here!…

With some masking, I stamped the giraffes from WPlus9’s Party Animal and the tree stump from WPlus9’s Happy Mail with Ranger black dye ink on watercolor paper. The sentiments are from Unforgettable.

I colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: 060 Brown, 062 Dark Brown, 064 Oatmeal, 066 Dark Oatmeal, 071 Flesh Colour, and 220 Tea Rose. I didn’t add any water to them. I masked them and watercolored the background with some distress inks in Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Hickory Smoke, Stormy Sky, Salty Ocean, and Mowed Lawn. Once it was dry, I sprayed with Hero Arts Unicorn White ink spray.

I stamped the balloon from Party Animal on separate watercolor paper and watercolored in Mermaid Lagoon. Once it was dry, I die-cut it and attached some fun foam behind it.

I die-cut the frame using stitched rectangle dies and taped it to acetate sheet. I colored it with a Zig Clean Color Real Brush in the color 023 Scarlet Red. For this part, I did add water since I was coloring a larger area.

I added more fun foam behind the frame and attached the balloon to the frame so I would know where to draw the balloon string.

I filled the inside with Pretty Pink Posh sequins that matched the colors I used and then taped down the top frame.
