Check out my latest Shaker card!
I found this wonderful Cheapo Dies Mermaid die in the Dies R Us Store.
She is magical AND affordable!
And she complimented these Frantic Stamper Beach Comber shell dies beautifully.
Here's how I created her:
I cut all the dies from White card stock.
All cuts were colored with Copic Markers.
Adding Stickles for lots of sparkle and shine, which can be found in the Dies R Us Store.
Using Spellbinders dies in Standard and Lacy Circles I cut my layers to create the Shaker portion of my card. Teal Backdrop, White Insert, Fun Foam Frame, Acetate, Teal Frame.
My ocean background was created by sponging Oxide Inks on to White card stock.
I also added water drops to lift some of the ink and then splattered White Craft Paint using and old toothbrush. I assembled my Shaker part and added glitter and sequins in all shades of Blues and Greens. Adding my shells as a border below my Shaker.
Using the Best Glue Ever I placed my beautiful Mermaid on the Acetate. Adding Adhesive Pearls to my Mermaid, creating a necklace and waistline and a few on the card base and shell border.
Inside Shell Border stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.
Lots of dimension!
She is magical!
Here's what I used:
