I just LOVED Linda's challenge today for us to use background stamps or create our own backgrounds. I'm not a big user of DP and make my own backgrounds most of the time. For this shaker card I pulled out one of my all-time favourite Cover-a-Card backgrounders (Flourishes), and combined it with a much less-used one (Bubbles).
5 1/2" square base, Bazzill Card Shoppe.
IO Cover-a-Card Flourishes inked with ColorBox Lime, stamped on white, embossed with clear EP, sponged with Peacock Feathers distress ink.
IO Cover-a-Card Bubbles inked with Versamark, stamped on white, embossed with clear EP and sponged with Peacock Feathers distress ink .
Fish stamped on watercolour paper, embossed, coloured with Sakura Glaze pens and Barn Door.
The shaker box front is white card cut with Spellbinders squares and Scalloped Squares, sponged with Vintage Photo, doodled with a brown marker and decorated with Liquid Pearls. I used thick foam tape for the frame, and used some gold and green seed beads inside.
Sentiment is temporary, I'll switch it up for something more relevant when I use the card.
