Hi everyone. Back as Guest Designer at Just Us Girls Challenge for the second week of this month. Happy to be playing along with the Just Us Girls team! :)
I used a cute die, Underwater Scene (Memory Box) to create my shaker. First I used white card stock to die-cut four of the U/W Scene. I removed the reeds and coral from four of the layers, leaving just one with everything. I die-cut my card front with the same die, adhered a piece of acetate to the background and glued the full-die-cut to the front, inlaying in the circle. I took the rest of the dies and glued them to the back, over top of the acetate, making sure things lined up as best I could. These four layers created the space for my sequins and beads. For the background, I used a piece of Pool Party card stock and sponged with a Waves stencil (Simon Says Stamp) using my blending brushes and two distress inks: Salvaged Patina, Cracked Pistachio. Once the ink was dry, I sprayed the background with shimmer spray.
The sequins and beads were place in to the prepared area (green, blue, purple iridescent sequins, clear sequins, clear seed beads). The background was glued down over top. Added some foam to the bottom back and popped my card front over top of my card base. Stamped the sentiment, Ocean Wisdom (Stampendous) in more Salvaged Patina.

Fun card and SO well designed. I struggle with Shaker cards so I haven’t done very many. This theme is terrific. I really thought that background was design paper! Great, eye-catching card, Loll!

I have to agree, this is one of the best ways to make shakers. They are such fun cards, and yours is a fabulous example of that! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool and fun underwater shaker card, Loll! The stenciled background looks so professional that I thought you used a piece of patterned paper. The shine of the sequins and the shimmer of the background are so pretty!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous shaker card Loll and love the wave stencilling for the background in those really pretty colours and the frame is so ornate in the contrasting white with the added fish and wonderful sparkly sequins within, and a great fun sentiment too. x
ReplyDeleteYou chose a gorgeous scene for the shaker card and the shiny sequins look like the sun is shining on them through the water. I love this card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shaker! Love the background with all those colours blended through the wave stencil. Stacking the circle die-cuts and adhering it to the back for your reservoir is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI second all the lovely comments you've received: your underwater scene is amazing! The water/shaker is so eye-catching; keeping the fish/seaweed white is brilliant! Another fabulous inspiration card for this week's challenge!
