I got the idea to do a shaker piece this week, and kinda went with it! I started off by getting a grungeboard square base, before cutting out some woodgrain kraft resist paper to match. I sprayed this with Lindy's sprays, then cut it into strips before attaching it to the base. I then cut out a circle from thick card, and another matching circle with a small circle in the centre. I glued button onto this ring, added sand texture paste and coated it in gesso before using rust paste. I then cut out a circle from normal card, coloured it with distress ink and stamped some fish and seaweed in dark blue, before embossing a jellyfish in both seafoam embossing powder and holographic and using a white pen to make lines of light. I then cut another circle out of acetate, and added some seashell sequins to make a shaker card, using thick foam to put it together. Once that was finished and attached to the base with some sprayed sisal fibres underneath, i added some stamped seaweed to the outside that had been coloured with Lindy's sprays, some seashells that are made of resin, and a sentiment. Finally i added some small art stones here and there, an anchor in the corner, and some blue and green stones and flowers.
I've also spent far too much on craft stuff this week, but that's neither here nor there! Hopefully it will lead to a few more tricks up my sleeve when making things.
Here is the update on the stitch.
So too much spending not enough makes! To quote Mr Wonka, i need to strike that and reverse it.
Until next time,
Ems
