Fish bowl shaker card

Good Morning everyone

Today is a shaker card i made using up left over weird fish that i used on my brothers birthday card back in January.  I decided to make it a fish bowl shape for a bit of fun


Approx size 7"  I used large circle dies and a craft knife to cut a basic fish bowl shape from white cardstock and a matching frame.  I lined the solid shape with a sea themed paper and arranged the fish and seaweed in place.  I added acetate to the back of the white frame and added foam tape around the edge and added shaker bits to the middle........i rarely get it right, either too much or too little, in this case too much so its buried some of the bottom fish😁
I then added the frame and a stamped sentiment die cut into ovals.

The fish had previously been stamped, watercoloured with oxide inks,glossy accents on the eyes and then cut out.  The seaweed & starfish had previously been stamped with ombre ink pads and cut out.

If you look carefully there is a mermaid in the background, i arranged the fish so that they didn't hide her face.  For the shaker bits i used a mix of sequins, seed beads and faux ice so it gives a very satisfying rattle noise.

Items Used:
Funky Fossil stamps 'weird fish'
Seaweed stamp
Pink ink Starfish stamp
Spellbinders grand circle dies
Spellbinders oval dies
The works 12x12 Paper pad 'feeling fresh'
Distress Oxide inks
Glossy accents
Sequins & Beads

Thank you for stopping by once again.  I hope you all have a good week. Hugs Emmax
