Bizzy Becs Challenge - Lawn Fawn "Hippo Birdie to You!" - Shaker Cards

Hullo everyone .. another post for Bizzy Bec Online Store -  it's anything goes at the Monthly Challenge for June! (Yes, June! six months into 2016!)
For the  "Anything Goes Monthly Challenge"  the winner worldwide receives either a die or stamps prize from Bizzy Bec's..
Some stamping and masking here today, a learning curve for me .. some shaker cards, using Pre-order Lawn Fawn Stamps hippo- Hippo Birdee To You! (cute, plus suitable for any sort of birthday card really).

Inked up some post-it notes with some images, cut around them for masking.
Stamped two lots of images, making up two cards .. just in case..!

Made a hill mask to add sky and grassy background. Masked some clouds as well for the sky.

Finished backgrounds.

Here are the first two Hippo Birdee shakers. Made major booboo in making these. *Do not use tacky glue for attaching layers new the aperture.. tacky glue makes the shaker elements stick and stay stuck!  
*Also use anti static pad on acetate etc to remove static with shaker elements.
*Another point I need to remember is to make the aperture on card base the size of inside of the frame. I sent them off, irrespective of booboos, as still liked them. One went to France and one went to Canada. Being flat cards they are ideal to post overseas.

So made another one, with no tacky glue. Static does make things stick, even though used anti static pad around it before attaching base. Sadly don't have anymore of the textured card I used on first ones (found out its discontinued - boohoo) so used an embossing folder for this one. Masked sponging bit different as no hills on this.

 Don't usually add Aussie shots to DT posts, but we're experiencing an east coast low. Put on waterproofs and went for a walk yesterday (Saturday) morning. The rain and wind gusts were up to 35 knots or 69 km :D it was nearly blowing me over as I  took these on my phone.
{EDIT: it has passed now thankfully, rain gone - was a total of 9 inches or 225mm. In my last post, I said how we needed rain. I guess we had it :DPassed mostly unscathed except damage to few shrubs. Up north the flooding was worse, some areas here were evacuated, more photos later on.}

 

Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek as chat - it means a lot to me!
