I've been wanting to make a shaker card with this Ocean Seahorse (Impression Obsession) image since I got it awhile back. Thanks to Amelia (WendyBell'sGirl on SCS) I had the perfect opportunity today. She provided a wonderful Sketch. Thanks Amelia!!
The seahorse is colored with copics and has a touch of sparkle added with my Quickie Glue pen and Ultrafine glitter. I cut the frame with my circle nestabilites and mounted it with a piece of acetate and dimensional tape onto the seahorse image circle. The inside is filled with sequins (Hero Arts).
To finish off the edges so the tape didn't show, I took a 1/8" piece of the same colored cs as the frame and glued it around the circle. I then *caulked* the edges with White Opal Liquid Pearls and Ultrafine Glitter.
To make the embossed corners, I just put a circle nestability inside of a square one, ran it through my cuttlebug, and then again to emboss it. I love the look. Finally, I added a bit more bling with Adornit gemstones and some organdy ribbon.
Supplies:
Stamps - Ocean Seahorse (Impression Obsession)
Paper - Frosted Teal, Intense Teal (Prismatics), Shimmery White (Stampin' Up), Ally's Wonderland forget-me-dots (S.E.I.)
Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories - Copics, Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Adornit gems, sequins (Hero Arts), Quickie Glue Pen, Ultrafine glitter, Liquid Pearls, ribbon, circle punch, dimensional tape
