Doggone Good Birthday Card

Today over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge, our "twist" is pets/animals. You can include any animal you'd like if you want to follow the twist! Hope you can join us!
I love shaker cards and have been making a lot of them recently! They are so much fun! I knew I wanted to make a shaker card with this adorable image from this month's sponsor Sitichy Bear.

I made a top hinge card using Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Squares. I used a sheet of adhesive foam for the layer between the clear plastic and the card front. I die cut oodles of bones, balloons and stars from an Avery Elle Balloon set and a Top Dog Dies dog set. Then I added some sequins and seed beads, also. After assembling the shaker part, I added my top layer of card stock using this adorable pattern with dog dishes on it! Then I die cut more bones and the 2 dogs and their bow/collar from the same Top Dog Dies set I used earlier. I also used 2 Tim Holtz Sizzix dies for the splatter and string circle. I fussy cut a dog tag from the other side of this pattern paper and stamped "Wishing you a doggone good day!" on it using a Close to My Heart stamp. I used a cut file on my Silhouette to add a larger bone to the dog tag and colored it gray. Then I added some twine to the dog tag and attached it to the string circle die cut. The presents with the paw prints on them came with the Stitchy Bear digi, and I sized and cut out 2 of them using my Silhouette. I colored them with Copic markers and used foam squares to adhere them.
Inside the square aperture, I fussy cut a dog house from the reverse side of this pattern paper and adhered it with glue tape. Then I adhered my digi with glue tape after coloring it with Copic and MEXPY markers. I was excited that I had the right greens to match the colors in the patterned paper exactly!
Here's a close-up of the shaker elements:
