Hello. Welcome. I been playing along with Winnie and Walters birthday celebration challenges but one of em had me in two minds. Shakers!! Love em? Hate em? Me, I always have big ideas and always end up frustrated. How do people just put one of these together in 5 minutes?? Anyway, I had an idea I wanted to try and I figured it's not a really challenge if you don't find it challenging. Quite pleased with the result.
I've used Winnie and Walter's Can You See What I See cutting plate. I used this the other day with gold mirror card, and then Lydia made a white card embossing with this plate and it looked so lovely. So I decided to emboss with this die and also do a partial cut to make a window for a shaker card.
I took a piece of white card and embossed it with the die plate and then I used an oval Sizzix diffusion plate to cut the shaped aperture. I used a craft knife to remove the pieces around the oval edge which had only partially cut.
I cut an oval frame with Sizzix dies to cover the edge where die cut met embossing. I added a layer of acetate and used some ex-packaging to build up my shaker. I filled it with lilac, silver and iridescent sequins and backed it with some patterned paper. I also cut the Winnie and Walter Thanks from the same pp and also twice from black card and layered them, offsetting the layers to give a shadow effect.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

This is brilliant! Embossed, cut, and framed, with the bright paper showing through -- love it! The "thanks" cut from the same paper really brings it all together. A very cohesive design and so pretty! I'm glad you shared this in our sequins challenge at Double D!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is simply stunning. I love your pretty background, but the shaker window is the star. Absolutely beautiful, and so creative!! Great take on the challenge, thanks so much for playing along with sequins over at Double D!
