Aquarium Card by Olga Direktorenko

Hi, Olga here, thanks for stopping by!

The project I am showcasing today is a shaker card. The idea and performance is really simple, it's the choice of materials that makes it interesting - I used some real sea shells to fill in the shaker and natural cork sheet to create a frame. The goldfish is cut out of shiny mirror cardstock and the whole thing is accentuated by the dimensional clear droplets.

This card is also a bit smaller than the regular one and measures 3 1/4'' x 4 1/5''.

Please scroll down for some close up photos as well as the step by step VIDEO tutorial!

I hope you enjoyed watching and found some ideas worth trying! Have a great day! Bye!

Hi Olga, I'm loving this card, shakers are my favourites and I'm really loving the fine detail on the Koi carp die-cut, and I'm amazed at these teeny tiny shells, I have never seen shells so tiny. I love the bottom of the shaker, it looks a little like 'frog spawn', I'm looking forward to watching exactly how you created this beauty.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
