To build a shaker element, first die cut the largest stitched square framelit. Then sponge the entire die cut square lightly with Pool Party ink. Stamp the seaweed images in Garden Green ink. Then sponge the fish in Pacific Point ink using the negative image of the fish framelit.
Tear a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock randomly to create a sandy ocean floor. Adhere the sand to the bottom of the stitched square die cut. Be careful not to add too much glue that it will ooze out the sides of the sand, so that the Tranquil Textures Sprinkles have room to shake around and not get stuck on the glue.
Adhere the seaweed plants and the coral. Then add a few pearls along the sand to create more interest. This aquatic scene could be an element on its own for a sampler too!
On a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock, stamp the long texture stamp with Night of Navy ink several times, covering the entire piece of cardstock. Then die cut the center of the square with a smaller square framelit to create a frame.
Layer the shaker elements together. Adhere a piece of Window Sheet to the back of the frame. Rub the back of the Window Sheet with an Embossing Buddy to help reduce static inside the shaker element.
Then add Foam Adhesive Strips around the back of the frame. Sprinkle some Tranquil Textures Sprinkles (Item #146337) on top of the aquatic scene. Remove the adhesive backing strips and adhere the frame to the aquatic scene. Then adhere the shaker element to the card front.
Die cut both sizes of sand dollars from Whisper White cardstock and lightly sponge around the edges with Crumb Cake ink. Add the two sand dollar die cuts to the lower right side of the shaker element.
The inside repeats the coral and seaweed die cuts featured in the shaker element.
I hope you give this shaker card a try! You can find measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.
