Shaker cards are notoriously fiddly, so this is a cheats version that very simple to do. You're still using a frame (but it has no acetate), and you're still using little embellishments like sequins (but they're not loose). As long as your frame is raised by using foam tape, your little sequins or the like are mainly glued down the bottom (with just a few scattered up higher) you have a very simple shaker technique that can be applied to atc's or just as easily to cards. As you can see from the 2nd example, "Shimmering", the frame doesn't even need to go right to the edges and you can have your main focal piece peeking out from under it as this one is.
"Under water"...
(The background seaweed is a die-cut from JAC double-sided
paper and then foil pressed on. The fishing line is Liquid Pearls in silver.)
"Shimmering"...
(The frame for this one has several coats of silver, black and
a little pink embossing powder to give it a weathered look.)
"Somber"...
(Very simple style, and yes, somber can be
spelt either as somber or sombre... trust
me, it didn't look right to me either!)
"Before"...
"Gene Pool"...
(The background is Soot Technique over a Distress Oxide
coloured gloss card. The frame is a chipboard frame, coloured
with a black permanent marker, then dabbed into Tumbled
Glass Distress Oxide Ink that has been mixed
with a little water, on a craft sheet.)
Finally, another one from last week's Messy Watercolour class.
"Dinner is Poured"...

I don't usually visit the blog, as I read it in my email, but I had to tell you thank you. I have learned a lot from you over the last couple of years, and I think you are very clever!
