Here’s what I created:

I absolutely ADORE this kit!  I haven’t even begun to explore the add-ons because I’ve been having so much fun with the kit items!  To start I blended dusty concord distress ink onto a piece of watercolor paper.  Then I spritzed it with the gold metallic spray and set it aside to dry.  Next I stamped the little boy on the moon and the star with versamark, heat-embossed them with gold and silver embossing powder, and then used coordinating dies to die-cut the images.

I die-cut the window die from white cardstock and arranged it over the distress inked panel to see where I wanted to stamp my sentiment.  I curved the sentiment on my acrylic block, stamped it with versamark, and then heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder.  Next I added acetate behind my shaker window and then added a double layer of foam mounting tape around the window.  I filled my shaker with the sequins included in the kit and adhered the distress inked panel.  Finally I tucked my boy into the window frame and adhered him and the star with ATG adhesive to finish my sparkly, shimmery shaker!
