Apologies in advance that this doesn't shake quite as well as it should - I left a heavy book on it overnight to make sure that the seed beads were well sealed in; I think the book was too heavy!!, but it does shake a little.
I stamped Midnight and coloured him with pencils, adding Stickle sparkles to his bow and hat. Masked him and sponged in the sky with stormy sky, chipped sapphire and dusty concord, then flicked some water over it.
I drew a pumpkin outline and scored some curves into it with a stylus, then die-cut the aperture and sponged some colour onto it, Added two mat apertures, the textured scalloped yellow, and a green circle, and then layered it all up. Inspired by that amazing beaded teapot I used seed beads for my shaker element, green, orange and gold. I added a green stalk and some leaves and vines to finish it off.

Oh my gosh this is fabulous Sabrina. I have been sitting here for the longest time taking it all in. I know you have a strict code when it comes to randomly assigning Tickle cards, but experience has taught us that Midnight and his pumpkin might be detained and quarantined by Aust Customs LOL. Everything about this is brilliant my friend. Thanks for great recipe too.
