Today’s card is a fun shaker design using Trinity Stamps and a playful take on this week’s Craft Roulette parameters. I started by die cutting a white cardstock panel using the largest rectangle from Emergency Card Essentials Die Set #2. I created my background by stamping the No Brainer stamp set repeatedly with Rosy Cheeks ink from Simon Hurley, then softly blended over the panel with a blending buddy to give it a light pink wash. To add texture and interest, I splattered the panel with leftover ink, graphite watercolor, pink pearl watercolor, and bleedproof white paint, then set it aside to dry completely. Once dry, I turned it into a shaker panel by adding acetate and adhesive, then filled it with a mix of Trinity embellishments including Blue Sky Sparkle Spots, Polished Sea Glass Confetti, Polished White Confetti, and Iridescent Snow Cone Pop Beads before sealing it closed and adhering it to an A2 card base.

Next I built the focal point by die cutting a small trapezoid from powder green cardstock using Emergency Card Essentials Die Set #1 and adhering it toward the top of the shaker panel. I stamped the brain image from the No-Brainer set with InkOn3 Blackout Ink, added the kissy face detail, colored it with OLO markers, and die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut a small white circle and stamped the sentiment “kiss your brain” using Loch Ness Stellar Ink. I adhered the brain to the circle, then popped the entire piece up with thin foam adhesive for dimension. To finish the card, I added a few Perfect Pink Heart Bubbles around the focal point for extra shine. This card checks all the boxes for Craft Roulette with a funn tagline, aquarium inspired colors, a March connection, and a twisty brain element.
