Today it’s time for a shaker card and I share some more Prismacolor colouring but this time it’s on dark cardstock! This is part of the release from Ellen Hutson and if you are hopping along to celebrate you should have arrived here from MICHELE’s wonderful blog.
I have two cards and a video and my first design is very clean and simple. This Good Egg Stamp Set really cracks me up (pardon the pun) and I think the images and sentiments are perfect for CAS designs and of course that means a ‘quick and fun’ card in no time at all.
I did some simple Copic colouring and popped up the images that I cut with the coordinating Good Egg Dies.
My second design was inspired by Sandy Allnock who coloured the most incredible jellyfish which you can see HERE… I was mesmerised! Mine are nothing like hers but I was inspired, thank you so much Sandy.
I coloured my jellyfish from Subbing In Stamp Set with Prismacolor Pencils on dark cardstock.
And then used the Porthole Die to create my shaker window.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Hahaha what a fun egg and hen card 😀 Love that design and sentiment! 🙂 I can’t stop laughing at it! 🙂 🙂 And the jelly fish card is beautiful in your coloring! Perfect use of porthole die too! 🙂
Love the coloring on your shaker card! 🙂
Oh my gosh! I LOVE how you colored the jellyfish – they actually look transparent! Amazing job!!
Sooo cute. Your version is making me buy it all.
So dang cute!! Love it!
Cute cards! I love the way you colored the jellyfish and the sentiment on the hen card is absolutely hilarious!
Fun card and I love the way you colored the jellyfish. Thanks for sharing your work.
Oh my love your delightful cards – your video was so fun – love the coloring and your tips on creating the acetate window shaker card – I tend to add the shaker elements by eye as well – lol – you are always so inspiring
I love your cards! The chickens are so funny, and your jellyfish shaker card is so fun. Your coloring looks wonderful. 🙂
Wow! The Prismacolors pencils on the darker cardstock really makes the jellyfish come alive 😳 Thanks for sharing this great technique.
Those chickens….What a great set! The expressions and sentiments alone are enough to make me want to buy this set! Love the CAS look to your card! Just the right amount of coloring on those goofy birds! My attempts at using colored pencils look nothing like your jellyfish. Your little floaters look amazing, and those colors do really pop against the darker cardstock. I can never measure the fillers for a shaker either. I do the ‘lift and look’ method too. Maybe Alexa or Siri knows, lol! Great cards, my sweet friend. Have a lovely weekend. xo
Oh my gosh, your jellyfish look AMAZING, Therese! I really have to start coloring with pencils on dark cardstock…it’s such a great idea! Off to check out your video 🙂
I really love the way you colored the jellyfish on the grey colored card stock! Very pretty!
Love those chickens,,,and am awed by your jellyfish coloring. Amazing.
These are so much fun!!
The chicken are very funny 🙂
And it’s amazing how do you coloring the jellyfishes.
I love your cards!! your jellyfish are Amazing!!
Your jellyfish are beautiful! I really like all the colors you used!
Such fun cards! Amazing coloring on your jellyfish!
What a fun shaker. Your coloring on those jellyfish is amazing. I love the sentiments in this release, particularly the one on your first card — it gave me a chuckle!
AH! I love the simplicity of the chicken card and WOW the jelly fish shaker is SOOOOO COOL!
Awesome cards! Your jellyfish are beautiful… love your pencil coloring! The chickens are so hilarious. Great inspiration 💜
This cracks me up too! Who wouldn’t want to receive a What the Cluck card?! So fun.
LOVE those chickens and that hilarious sentiment!!! And your jellyfish are gorgeous!!!
Wonderful coloring on your jellyfish.
Loving the sentiments from this release! That chicken card is adorable.
Love these fun cards.
I enjoyed your video and the ooops LOL! (hope your cat is okay) Adorable porthole card!
I admit it, I am SOLD on those chickens! Too punny!
Great cards. Love the chickens and jellyfish!
You always make me laugh and smile. These little jelly fish are adorable, great coloring!
Wow!!!Your jellyfish are GORGEOUS!!!
You mention Sandy A. She’s amazing but you are not too shabby yourself. You make pencil coloring look so easy. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing all your fabulous ideas.
OMG your card and coloring on the jelly fish is amazing. Wonderful work
As usual, Therese, you did not disappoint! Loved your shaker and think I need to try my prisma colors out again.
The chickens made me chuckle, Therese, and those jellyfish are wonderful swimming by the porthole.
I love the jellyfish. Great job.
Had a little chuckle at your hen card, very sweet.
Loved the shaker card and the prismas pop on the darker card stock.
Hoping you have a lovely weekend and plenty of creative time.
Cheers
Lisa
The coloring on those jelly fish is fantastic.
Really really fun cards … that egg one is hilarious! And I love your jellyfish!!
The jellyfish are so fantastic and love your technique!
Two lovely cards and a great technique video. Thanks for sharing this inspiration with these fun products.
Your chicken card really had me cluckling!!! So funny!!! Love your coloring on the octopus against the gray cardstock. I also like the way they are looking through the porthole–like they want in, or is it that they want out? Lol. TFS
Beautiful new stamps! I love my prismacolor pencils too. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Awww such great ideas! You amaze me!
Awesome cards! Love the chickens! They have so much personality! And the jellyfish and porthole window look awesome… great colors!
Hilarious sentiments! Beautiful job on your cards, as always!
Those chickens are hilarious! I love your CAS scene! How fun it would be to see these jellyfish looking back at us through a porthole! Beautiful coloring! I struggle with how much shaker elements to add to a shaker card too.
Fabulous cards!
cute, cute, cute! I saw that Sandy Allnock video as well- you are right, it BLEW ME AWAY! But your jellyfish are adorable!
Such fun cards! The chickens and jellyfish are adorable–I really like how you colored them.
Yes very true quick n fun !! Nothing better than a CAS card which makes one smile 😄 I loved both of them , and your pencil coloring is awesome !
What cute chicken stamps. I like the way you colored your jellyfish.
Adorable cards. Love the coloring on the jellyfish.
Love snarky sentiments. The chickens
are fun. The coloring on the sea critters
is wonderful – gives them an underwater,
other-world look. Great cards.
thanks for sharing

Two very cute cards. The simple chicken one is just toooo much fun.
Too darn cute!
Oh dear, Therese, one of those chucks is in trouble … though they’re so cute I guess they’ll be forgiven! Amazing colouring on your shaker … love how the pencil strokes on each jellyfish add to the wateriness of the scene! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Therese, your jellyfish may not look like Sandys’,(whose could?), but I think they look wonderful. I’d be thrilled if mine looked like yours. Those chickens with the sentiments are such a hoot. Thank you for the video on how to make a shaker card. I tried one once & must have taken it apart three times as I kept doing it wrong. I’m going to bookmark this. I love the look of pencil colouring on dark cardstock over a base of white. Your jellyfish look like they are floating. There are so many items in this release that I’d like to have. I’d be over the moon if I win something.
I always love your cards and this release is no exception. The What the Cluck cracks me up and your jellyfish are beautiful.
Totally DARLING!!! I LOVE your coloring of the jelly fish!!
Therese, I am a huge fan of Sandy Allnock’s and I have to say, you did a GREAT job of colouring those jellyfish! She would be proud LOL I always enjoy your videos and am so glad I watched you make this shaker card which is awesome. I love the way you layered the porthole. As always, thank you for inspiring me 😃
I always love the “look” of your coloring with Prisma pencils. Your jellyfish card is awesome! I am also a fan of CAS and your chicken card is so cute too!
Totally cracking up! When my daughters (now in their 20’s) were tiny, they wanted a chicken from the local farmers marker. I relented and well – it grew! Turns out – it was a rooster! Oh the laughs we have had over me saying this exact thing – what the cluck! LOL! Your cards are just darling! I love the use of the white space – it really gives the images a gorgeous focal point! Bravo! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, too 🙂 TFS!
Wonderful cards! I really love how you colored the jellyfish!!
Awesome cards, Therese. Such pretty colors.
This set had me at What the Cluck! Your little scene is hysterical!
Cute chicken card and I enjoyed your coloring on the video.
Both of your cards are amazing!! Love the coloring for the jelly fish.
Super cute cards!! Love love the jelly fish.
Jellyfish in pencil on the grey cardstock look fantastic!
I love the cheeky sentiments and cute stamps. Fun new release!
oh my goodness, soooo CUTE. I love both your cards!
Awesome release! I love your creations, especially your coloring and design of the Porthole shaker card!
Such fun ! Sandy blew me away with her colouring so I totally see the influence from her piece, think she would find this fun too. Your colouring is awesome with those crayons. Love the other card, I have a mug that would go with your design, it reads ” Some days I have to say cluck it & walk away ! ” with a shadow of a rooster on the other side x
Love the jellies in the porthole so cute!
I think your coloring is so wonderful. I love the little jellyfish. Your chicken card made me laugh!! Such a funny sentiment!
I love your coloring always and you didn’t disappoint. Those hens crack me up!! Oops, a pun!! But those jellyfish are beautiful!! I love how they are colored. Gorgeous!!
The chicken card is so perfect, CAS but still so eye catching! Your coloring of the jellyfish is really really wonderful! Such a great reminder of needing to try the technique of colored pencils on darker cardstock.
Two fabulous cards. My fav is good egg – my sense of humour! Love it! Off to check out EH! thanks after a few days away with my bookclub/walking girls I need to do more shopping!!;)
Such fun jellyfish!!! Love that stamp set and that adorable shaker!! Awesome coloring!
Looking fun!!!!
Perfect little jellyfishes. The coloring is amazing. I have the feeling if you would turn off the lights they would glow in the dark. Perfect!
Love the shaker! I always enjoy your videos and I’m glad your kitty didn’t get glass in her feet. Thanks for sharing how you color on kraft with pencils. Love it!
Your cards are so fun using the new release!
I love all of your cards and can’t wait to get my hands on this release. The jellyfish are so adorable.
That first chicken card is so funny and you did a fabulous job challening your inner Sandy!
awesome jellyfish coloring!
Fantastic shaker card! I love your coloring. Sandy’s colors were a great inspiration.
What the cluck is hilarious! Love it and I am not a chicken fan but I am becoming one-especially after seeing your eggspecting card! Love the shaker bits in the porthole too. I did not catch it the first time when you said you picked it up to look thru the bottom and they spilt all over your desk. That is something I would have done too! Great release and wonderful cards! 🐔🐓🥚
Adorable card and great video.
Thanks for sharing…
LOL That chicken card is just too funny! Loving those jellyfish, too!
Love your chook cards and that amazing submarine!
Those jellyfish are out of this world!!! Love how you colored those. The chickens are just too darn funny. What a great design.
Fantabulous new stamps and dies! What delightful cards you crafted to share! Loving those chickens like everyone else!
Oh wow, those cards are fab!, what a wonderful release! I’m in love with those chickens! hugs XoX
love your card — the critters are adorable and the amount of sparklies is just fine.
Eww, those jellyfish are cute and not cute. Lovely job.
