Any Occasion Mermaid Shaker Card

Oh my goodness guys, I am so excited! 

I made my second shaker card and I am beyond impressed with this one. 

The last time my hubby and I went to Michael's, we were just supposed to get a few supplies that I needed. Well, my husband tends to get just as excited as I am when we go in there. Since he is so supportive of my craft, he tends to go a little over board. So now I have more fun stuff to play with and experiment with. 

And with those things, I created this wonderfully magical card!

I made a beautiful watery ocean style background on some watercolor paper using my ink & shimmer sprays. Stamped out some sea-life in opposite corners & added some PearlEx to them. In the bottom right corner I stenciled on some seaweed (I think thats what it is) with some green Luxe paint. 

After cutting out the window for my shaker piece, I went ahead and adhered my die-cut Hello sentiment.

For the shaker image I used a beautiful mermaid rising up out of the ocean. Used my blue Luxe paint & stencil to give her some sparkling waves. Once she was all colored in, I added some mixed sequins & microbeads then topped it with the plastic circle.

I decided to add some matching waves to the inside of the card. To completely finish everything off, using distress inks I added a sentiment & more sea-life from the same set I used throughout the card.

For this card I used:

• Ranger Dylusions alcohol ink sprays.
• Heidi Swapp  color shine spray.
• Momenta Luxe paint in teal & green.
• Artists Loft watercolor paper.
• JilliBean Soup large plastic shaker pieces. 
• PearlEx powder.
