Hello, my friends!
It's Nancy here, with my first project share! I've made a decorative shaker element:
Shakers are so much fun, and there is an incredible variety in the shop HERE.
This particular shaker is going to sit on my desk as a reminder that Life is Beautiful!
However, there are lots of ways to use finished shakers:
on a card, on a layout, on the cover of a mini album or journal, as a little decorative hanging.
So many options!
Here's how I did it:
Clear Scraps - Mini Shaker Scallop Rectangle;
Chosen Image;
Walnut Stain Distress Ink (not shown);
Coordinating Acrylic Paint;
Paint Brush;
Assorted Filler.
I painted the front, back and all the edges.
I cut my image to fit, added the sentiment, and inked all the edges.
I adhered my image onto the back piece.
Then I adhered two of the framed layers on top.
At this point, I added all my little shaker bits.
I used a combination of sequins, beads, and tiny flowers.
Next, I removed the protective film from the acrylic layer, and adhered it in place.
Remember – there is protective films on both sides of the acrylic piece.
Once the acrylic was in place, I added the final frame piece.
It gives it such a lovely vintage feel.
In the meantime, head over to the shop and see which shaker element inspires you!
