"We're Going On a Summer Holiday"
For my card today I coloured a digi from Digi Doodles called Beach Babes. I decided I would make a shaker card and used Martha Stewart microbeads to represent the sand. It's been ages since I made one....first one I ever made was in a class about 5 years ago and I remember micro beads all over the floor. I'm happy to say this time things went according to plan :)
I cut the circles with my SB Grand Nestabilities circles and scallops. The image was colored with Copics and the shells are from Jolee. Ribbon is MayArts tied using my Bow Easy. Acetate is from my stash. Lace is from WOC. A tutorial for Shaker cards can be found here at SCS.
DP is Melissa Frances 5th Avenue 6x6 paper pad.
