This card is for today's SCS Color Combination Challenge. Maura is our hostess and she chose colors that I could get one more tropical type card in before the summer is gone.
To make this shaker card, I sponged distress ink on watercolor paper and then spritzed with water and sprinkled some coarse salt on top. The fish bowl is cut from a panel of white and placed above the distress background with two layers of foam tape. The glitter is too fine and sticks to the acetate but is still a fun card.
Come on over and join in the challenge! We pick weekly favorites and you could be our next guest designer!
Enjoy!

How adorable. At first look I thought you had done the technique where gel is used in the shaker card to make it look like water.
