Fishy Shaker for Leonie

Hello lovely peeps, and welcome to my new followers. I'm delighted to see you here :)


Today's card is the one that appeared on the packaging for Leonie's 'In a Spin' die from the Mixed Media collection. I can't tell you what a thrill it was to receive a packaged die from the lovely people at Crafters Companion.


To start off I cut an aperture in a piece of patterned paper with the die, and then cut it again from some sturdy white card.


 I fit the white version inside the aperture and taped it at the back.


Next I taped some acetate on the back and put foam tape all the way around the aperture.

To make my background I cut a vague fishy shape from a waste bit of rubber, glued it onto a block and stamped all over a patterned paper.


I glued this onto a 6x6 base card and sprinkled some sequins on before attaching the shaker aperture.

I've finished off with a lighthouse stamp from Inkylicious and a sentiment from the Flight to Freedom set stamped onto some die cut circles.


Don't forget you can win some fab Leonie stash, plus other goodies, in my giveaway.
Anyone can enter - including my teamies - as long as you are a follower :)

Fabulous card. I am so thrilled you have used one of Leonie's dies, I greatly admired the circles one when she was on TV with them. Your fish look fabulous behind their creative tank. Super imaginative work. Thanks for sharing with us at Cardz 4 Guyz. Caz. DT.
