Mainly as it was just so cute. The fish had to be underwater, so I decided to colour the fish in using watercolour pencils. I researched into Betta fish, the range of colours that they really are in nature is truly amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to make the card blue, and use the <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/2j5rw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Altenew Half Tone Circles stamp<\/a> to give the impression of bubbles. The sentiment is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativecraftingworld.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Paper Boutique.<\/a>  So far so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating shaker cards is easy. There are some problems a beginner can come across. You can think that all the bits are securely inside, then move the card and they all fall out. Yes, that happened to me. I discovered what I had done wrong and fixed it. It&#8217;s also advisable to use an anti-static bag on the edges of the foam tape so that the bits do not stick to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked how this card turned out. I&#8217;m glad the challenge pushed me to creating something outside of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267\" srcset=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name.png 800w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name-640x640.png 640w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/April-20-name-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shaker card was the theme for the April 2020 Get Creative Challenges Blog design team.
