Hi everyone! Today I'm here along with a lot of other designers to participate in the Sunny Studio and Studio Katia Collaboration Blog Hop! Above is the order of the blog hop, since you'll need to follow along to be entered into the giveaways that are happening!

For my card today I'm using the Magical Mermaids stamp set from Sunny Studio and the Dotted Patterns Set 1 Die Set (I know I called and named it differently in my video, that was the name I was told before it was released, so sorry!) and the Majestic Fusion Sequin Mix from Studio Katia.

To begin my card today I first started with my frame for my shaker element. I used the Dotted Patterns die set to cut the outer rectangle frame as well as the bubbled frame to die cut out the centre, to have an open video for the shaker bits. Once everything was die cut I moved onto my background. I'm using some alcohol inks from Tim Holtz to create a fun ocean-sea themed background. I used three blue colours and dropped colour onto some Yupo paper. I then took some rubbing alcohol and sprayed it onto the background to create a bubble and blended effect. I dried it off a little with my heat tool and then set it aside to dry on it's own. 

Next up I used Copic markers to colour in the mermaids and other accents from Magical Mermaids and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

I then added a piece of acetate onto the back of my frame piece with some double sided adhesive and then I added two layers of foam tape behind also to be able to have enough shake for my sequins. I also added my images on the front of the panel with the acetate with more foam adhesive and then flipped over the panel again to add more foam adhesive behind so the sequins didn't get trapped behind the images. I then removed the backers of the foam tape and adhered my now dried alcohol inked background behind the shaker panel. 

Next up I used a diagonal piece of blue cardstock and adhered it onto a card base and then adhered the shaker panel onto the front also. To finish up I white heat embossed the 'swimming by to say hi!' sentiment onto the same blue cardstock as used for the background and also adhered that with foam tape and added a hemp bow to the side to make it feel more grounded.
