Just Us Girls #201 Technique Challenge

This weeks Just Us Girls challenge is to make a shaker card.  I chose to make a beachy shaker.  The sand in this shaker is very special sand.  My daughter used to be a Flight Attendant.  On one of her trips she brought home a small jar of the pink sands of Bermuda.  It's hard to see in the picture, but up close and personal you can see pink flecks in the sand.  I used a Kraft card base for this card.  The pink layer is GKD Innocent Pink cardstock that I have embossed with a Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles folder.  I, also, scored a small section at the bottom for the greeting.  The greeting has a distressed look to it.  I stamped it with Memento Espresso Truffle ink.  This layer was attached to a layer of GKD Powder Blue cardstock.  I tied some Doodle Twine blue and white twine and a blue button above the greeting.  I sponged the background of the focal image and attached a few shells.  The sand castle was stamped, colored and fussy cut.  Then attached to the background.  I used two layers of Scor-Tape to give enough clearance for the sand to fit between the background and the clear panel.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut some whirly gigs to decorate the outside of the frame.  This was attached to the card front.
