Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Today, I'm doing a super simple shaker card that I feel packs a big punch. Whenever you use clean line, symmetrical shapes for your shaker cards, the results are seamless, easy to assemble, and a fun card for your recipient.
I started off the card by making a fun watercolor background and then stenciled over it with Distress Oxides to get the water affect. While letting that dry, I worked on my mermaid. She was so fun to color with my alcohol markers! After that I cut a frame using Lawn Fawn rectangle stitched dies and attached heat resistant acetate so that I could emboss my sentiment on it.
When heat embossing on acetate, remember to move your heat gun around a bit; don't stay too long on one area. Ask me how I figured THAT one out. lol Assembly of the card was so easy and came together seamlessly! I used double mounted foam tape on the back of the frame, and then poured these amazing sequins down on my background. I placed the frame over it and bam...shaker done!
Thank you so much for crafting with us today. Head over to the shop for some amazing deals and new products!
What a beautiful card!! I love the background and all of that sparkle! - The Frolicking Fairy
