Fab Friday 103

As soon as I saw the sketch at Fab Friday, I knew I had to play it. So many ideas came to mind but I went with the one that let me play with a recently neglected set, Seaside Shore.


I seldom make shaker cards. In fact, this is only the second one I've ever made. It seemed the right approach with this set and this sketch. So, here it is...


I took a tip from Jennifer McGuire and glued a few sequins in place inside the shaker, just in case everything fell to the bottom. The Calypso Coral button was leftover from a previous year's Sale-a-bration deal.



On the inside...


In the end, a card that would suit male or female. I like that it retains a clean look, despite the use of patterned paper and a lot of layers.

Ingredients
Card: Dapper Denim, Very Vanilla, DSP from By the Shore, Window sheet
Stamps: Seaside Shore, Big on Birthdays
Inks: Dapper Denim, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral
Other: Seaside Textured embossing folder, foam strips, Square framelits, Calypso Coral button, Linen twine, sequins from the sewing cupboard.

  2. What a great idea to use our squares in the sketch for a shaker card! Looks great and the iridescent sequins remind me of bubbles in the water! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
