For this card, I went with a bright and cheerful color scheme using the sunny yellow and navy cardstock from the kit. I just love that butter yellow – it reminds me of sunshine! To add some texture, I used the Dotty Stencil from the kit and applied clear texture paste to the yellow cardstock. While that dried, I got to work on the shaker element.
I was really drawn to the mirrored polaroid frame included in the kit, so I decided to give it a makeover to match my colors. I painted the whole frame with Uncharted Mariner Distress Paint and then sprayed it with some mica spray for a touch of shimmer and texture. I love how it turned out!
For the shaker, I glued one of the floral ephemera pieces just below the acetate window and another on the outside of the frame. I filled the shaker with a mix of clear rhinestones from the kit, flatback pearls, sequins, and beads. To make sure there were always some sparkles showing, I glued a few of the shaker bits down to the yellow cardstock and let the rest flow freely.
To finish the card, I typed a sentiment on my typewriter, cut it into a banner shape, and adhered it to a scrap of yellow cardstock. I love how this card turned out – it's so bright and cheerful!
