Suspended Shaker with Ranger Alcohol Ink Background feat Lawn Fawn

I stamped my images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink on some Bristol Vellum paper (this might be my new go-to with Zigs), embossed them with clear embossing powder and colored them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. For the seaweed and the coral, because these are solid stamps, I used respectively Memento Dew Drops in Pear Tart and Love Letters. 

I then started building my shaker. For the base I used some teal blue cardstock from the Neenah Astrobrights collection that I cut at a standard A2 size. For the shaker front I used the Tonic Studios Layering Circles to cut both the shaker window and the frame. I then backed the shaker front with some clear acetate.

I used two layers of craft foam to create dimension on my shaker, and for the suspension mechanism I used some nylon thread. I first taped it to the back of my mermaid and then sandwiched it between the two layers of craft foam. Just make sure that the thread is somewhat loose inside the shaker, so that the mermaid can swing around. 

I then added the images to the shaker background, threw in some iridescent and blue confetti for some added sparkle, and assembled the shaker.

I completed my scene with a few images from the Lawn Fawn Mermaid for You and Fintastic Friends sets, and for the sentiment I did some heat embossing with white embossing powder over the same teal blue cardstock that I used on my card base. To create the banner I used one of the dies in the Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling die set and the extended die cutting technique. 

I will be back soon with another fun project and, in the meantime, I wish you all a great day!
