With all the gorgeous beads and sequins The Ton carries, it’s no surprise that I make so many shaker cards. I combined my two favorite things in this card: shaker and watercoloring.
I started with 4×5.25 watercolor cardstock for the heat embossed florals and leaves from Simple Florals. I used Peerless watercolors to color the whole piece and added shading with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. Then I added some drops of water, white pigment ink, and shimmer spray. The piece was taped down on a white cardbase and then I prepared the top of the shaker. I cut out a white frame and attached clear film and some foam tape. I filled the center with the following beads: Pearl Satin, Clear Fuchsia, Bubblegum Matte, and Deep Emerald. Then I closed it off and added the sentiment from It’s Cray Cray (heat embossed in pink). It has an almost vintage look, right?!
Thanks for visiting!

Thank you for taking time to leave a thoughtful comment!! I didn’t even realize crafters used sewing machines, trims, and beads/sequins for cards until last year! 😉

Actually does remind me of one of my Mom’s tablecloths sans the beads, of course. Loved that tablecloth, love this more.
