Black Cat Shaker Tag

Hello, everybody!  I have another kitty project to share with you! The Cat Lovers Hop has ended (sad face), but I still love cats! Yesterday at the Hop we celebrated World Cat Day. I have just discovered that World Cat Day was August 8 and that yesterday was actually National Cat Day so guess what - I'm celebrating again! If you've been following me for a while, then you know I celebrate my love of cats here every day! So Happy Cat Day! Here are both logos:

Yesterday the fabulous and talented hostess of the Cat Lovers Hop, Janis at Her Peaceful Garden, asked us to share some of our favourite cat memes. I ran out of time yesterday but I'm happy to share them today!

Now for my crafty cat project!  I have made a black cat shaker tag! I've had this Whiskers the Cat die from Elizabeth Crafts for ages, and this is the first time I've used it! I found it a bit complicated - there are a lot of pieces! But once I figured it out, I was so happy with it! I added a purple die-cut witch hat (Top Dog Dies) and I inked around the edges with Purple Violet Distress Ink.

To create the shaker frame, I used two sizes of Gina Marie Designs Stitched Hexagons. To make it into a tag, I adhered a small hexagon at the top using Taylored Expressions Hexagon Stacklets. I then added a black eyelet and some black eyelash ribbon. I included lots of sequins inside the shaker and embellished the front with a spiderweb charm and some dark purple bats from my stash. The patterned paper on the back of the shaker is from DCWV Halloween Night 12x12.
