Hello friends! I have a fun underwater-themed shaker card to share with you today featuring the new Stitched Semi-Circle Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps! I love how versatile these dies are! I used the biggest one in the set to create a large window in the center of a 5″ x 5″ square card base. I then stamped some images from both the Sea You Soon and Best Fishes Stamp Sets. All of my images were colored with Copic Markers and cut using the coordinating Sea You Soon and Best Fishes Die Sets. (Affiliated links used where applicable at no extra cost to you.)
For my ocean background, I blended some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Inks and splattered this blend with water to give it more interest.
I also added a beach floor by cutting a piece of white card stock, blending it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and then splattering it with both diluted white and brown paint to add some texture. I adhered all of my images to my base with liquid adhesive and then added some Studio Katia Majestic Mini Sequins for my shaker embellishment combined with some clear seed beads.
Lastly, I stamped my sentiment onto my front panel with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink prior to attaching it to my card base.
Thank you kindly for dropping by! If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed!
Such a great stamp and die set. You make these characters come alive in your animated underwater scene, Rachel. I simply love what you do with colouring and placement. And shakers are so special a card. In total admiration, Adam from Downunder.
Thank you so much, Adam! 🙂
