25 cards of Christmas - Day 21 - Shaker bauble

I couldn't let the series go without doing at least one shaker card. This one is fairly simple to do. I cut a circle out of a piece of white card a bit smaller than my card base. I embossed the sentiment in the bottom corner (badly...I'm having issues with static or humidity or something...) and then stuck a piece of clear acetate over the back of the circle with double sided tape.

I used foam tape around the edge of the aperture then added a generous dollop of red and green sequins. I got them in a pack of crafty bits from Poundland last year and they're perfect Christmas colours. I decided the foam wasn't going to be high enough so I added another layer to it before I stuck a piece of gold glittery card over the top.

I added a piece of gold glittery ribbon from the top of the bauble to the top of the white card and finished with a bow, then because it still looked as if it needed something, I used a gold gel pen to add dashed lines around the edge of the bauble.

To finish I layered up the foam tape around the edge of the white card, added a piece of double sided tape to the back of the gold card, and stuck it down to my card base.
