Let’s Shell-Ebrate with Dana

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a birthday shaker card with you today.

To start, I die cut square panel from bristol paper using Nested Squares. Then, I ink blended it slightly with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brushes. Detailed colors are Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers. I then stenciled square panel again with same Distress Oxide Inks using Brush Stroke Waves Stencil.

Next, I created a seashell shaker window by die cutting with Seashell Shaker. I die cut seashell one more time from gold card stock as well. I mounted outline pieces of seashell, after I adhered Acetate Sheet.

I then mixed embellishments for shaker. I used Rainbow Loops, Rainbow Hearts, Speckled Sprinkles, Silver Fever Confetti. With these lovelies, I finished off my shaker using foam tape.

For sentiment, I silver heat embossed Shell-Ebration and die cut it using Best Ever Dies. As a final touch, I adhered crystals here and there as shown in the picture.
