shaker flower...


 One is never too old to learn something new in stamping.
For this card I started with a white linen card stock base card.
Using watercolor paper with Distress Oxide Sprays spiced marmalade and vintage photo I made a background that ended up being a strip.
Once it was thoroughly dry I used a die from Tim Holtz “Cutout Blossoms” to cut at the bottom of the strip.
I applied a piece of acetate to the back of the piece with 1/8” double sided tape.
All around the edges I placed thicker foam tape.
Before removing the paper from the foam tape I used the, new to me, EK Tools Powder Tool so no sticky stopped the beads and sequins from moving around.
I filled the area with the beads and sequins and applied the front of the card to this piece.
The “thanks” was die cut from Tim Holtz Color Core Card stock using Tim Holtz “Autumn” set.
This I glued to the card front.

  3. What a beautiful card, your inky panel is perfect with the sentiment die and I really like that the aperture for your shaker is a floral die. Thanks for joining in with the Back to Basics and Beyond challenge.
