Asha's birthday card was made using shells and a sentiment from Serene Seaside along with a greeting from Beachy Keen.
The shells were used at random to create decoration around the central sentiment, this was printed out twice. The top copy has had the verse die cut to make a window, after colouring with Distress Ink acetate was stuck over the opening.
The assembled shaker topper has been stuck onto an easel card, the bottom of which has been covered with paper from Country Farm because in very pale sepia it looks a little like sand.
The greeting is die cut, coloured and stuck on with foam pads, in the corners are little paper clay star fish and shells to add to the beachy look.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shaker card and thank you for the lovely comment on my card and I know just how you feel about the stamp-my Dad loved fishing and we played the CD Gone Fishing which the Humanist gave to me afterwards-this was 7yrs ago and I still cannot bear to play it x

Those micro beads are so cool! I very rarely make a "sentiment" card but after seeing this, I have to try!
