Another new challenge has started on the CRAFT challenge blog. This week’s theme is “Inspired by a Song”. I was inspired by the title of the song Rock DJ by Robbie Williams and made this cool Future DJ shaker card.
Our Sponsor is:

I received this digital stamp Future DJ ( not available anymore) from All Dressed Up Stamps to make a card. This card is perfect for a DJ lover who rocks.
Let’s get into it.

Making the shaker.
I used a star die to make the star shaker part. I die-cut the star several times. I didn’t want to use foam tape because the edges are thin. I coloured the first star with my alcohol marker. I used the colour Teal Blue (188). I glue the stars on each other to create the dimension I need for the shaker. Between the first and the second star, I glue some acetate. I used some music notes and embellishments for the shaker part. For the background of my shake section, I used the same background paper I used on the background of the card.
Assembling the card
For the first layer of the card, I used the 12,5 centimetres by 12,5 centimetres white card stock. I coloured the edge of the paper with my alcohol marker Blue teal (188). I did the same on my piece of white card stock measuring 11 centimeters by 11 centimeters. I place my patterned paper on top of the first layer on the card.
Then I stick the other squares on each other and place them a little crooked on the card. I put my shaker on top of the squares and placed my monkey. I stick the monkey with high foam tape and glue the tail on the shaker. I place my words you rock and some stars and music notes. Now the card is finished.

I hope you like it. Also, be sure to look at the challenge blog to see what my fellow design team members have created.
Happy Crafting!

Ik vind hem fantastisch! Ook super leuk dat je ook muzieknootjes in de shaker erbij hebt gedaan, dat maakt het helemaal af!
Ja wou eerst alleen muziek nootjes in de shaker doen. Maar die waren te groot dus schudde hij niet. Dus zo opgelost.
