here is a better look at the board:
My eye was immediately drawn to the top left picture featuring pink and teal colours and jars filled with a yummy looking beverage. I found a jar die in my stash and created a fun shaker card (I know another one lol!). I think it turned out really girly and pretty and I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the jar:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and used three shades of teal ink and ink blended all over the panel; I also added some water droplets and white spatter. Whilst that was drying I die cut the jar x 10 so that I could stack up the frame part to create my shaker window. I ink blended one complete jar (frame and inner) using a pink ink pad and added some white spatter to the inner part. I cut a piece of acetate and adhered that behind the ink blended frame and then adhered the rest of the white frames behind using liquid glue. I also die cut a straw from a different die set from white card and using masking tape created the stripes by ink blending some kraft ink over it and I think it turned out fantastic. I cut a small piece of kraft card and swiped some brown ink over it to give it some dimension to look like wood (but I think it works as sand too). I stamped both the sentiments onto white card using a teal ink pad and used sentiment strip dies to cut them out. I was going to use sequins in my shaker but found some glitter snow which is quite chunky so I thought that would work as ice in my drink. I added the ink blended background onto my card base using double sided tape and added the kraft card along the bottom with liquid glue. I adhered the inner part of the jar onto the background and then adhered the straw onto this using liquid glue. I added a few spoonfuls of the snow and then adhered the layered frames over top with liquid glue trapping the snow inside. I added the smaller sentiment in the top left corner using liquid glue and the longer sentiment was added across the bottom of the jar using foam squares. I finished off with some clear sequins. For the inside I cut another white panel and ink blended along the bottom using the teal ink left on my brush. I cut a thin strip of kraft card and again dragged the brown ink along it for dimension and attached this to the bottom with liquid glue. I used another inner jar piece, ink blended over it with the pink ink and added some white spatters. I adhered this in the bottom left corner, trimming off the bottom of the jar that overhung the panel. I stamped the sentiment in the centre using the teal ink pad and adhered the panel to my card base with double sided tape.
