My card started with me using StazOn White Pigment Ink to stamp the Cotton Candy image and sentiment onto acetate. I used my Misti to do this so that it wouldn't slide around on the shiny surface as I stamped and I was sure of a nice crisp stamped image. I set this to one side to dry for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile I ink blended a panel with Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade and Cracked Pistachio. I also took the smaller of the two Cotton Candy dies and die cut another panel of white cardstock. With the acetate now dry I layered the die cut panel over the stamped image, securing it with my tape runner. I then flipped over the panel and used extra thick dimensional foam tape to create a shaker unit and also the foam tape was added around the outside so that it was all stable and level.
I filled the space with my chosen shaker contents which I blended together myself but perhaps the most impactful are the Sprinkles by Little Things From Lucy's Cards, but I also mixed in some seed beads that I had in pink, white and clear, then sealed them in by backing the unit with the ink blended panel and in turn the entire shaker unit was adhered to a sturdy 110lb white cardstock base.
Card complete! I hope you enjoyed it and are feeling inspired, I will be back with a new card VERY soon!
