CTMH Mason Jar Bouquet Shaker Card

Today I decided to make a shaker card using CTMH Mason Jar Bouquet stamp set. I embossed CTMH Lagoon Cardstock with the Under the Sea Embossing Folder. I used an emery board to file down to the white core of the cardstock. I made a no bulk shaker card after seeing Jennifer McGuire Blog https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2015/01/video-no-bulk-shaker-cards.html .
To fill the shaker card I used CTMH O-fish-ally Awesome stamp set and filled with sequins. I stamped the sentiment with CTMH Time to Celebrate.


 To make this card I used:

Stamps: CTMH Mason Jar  Bouquet, O-fish-ally Awesome and Time to Celebrate

Paper: Whisper White and Peacock Cardstock

Ink: CTMH Lagoon and Toffee Exclusive Ink, CTMH Watercolor Pencils and Versafine Onyx Black

Accessories: CTMH Under the Sea Embossing Folder, Emery Board, CTMH White Pearls, CTMH Crafty Loose Sequins and Scotch 1/2 in. Double Sided Foam Tape

CTMH From the Deep Blue Card

I really like the CTMH From the Deep Blue stamp set and Thin Cuts. I colored the fish with CTMH Watercolor Pencils and then used CTMH Clear Shimmer Pen on them. The coloring was easy as I layered then on all at once and blended with the clear shimmer pen.

CTMH Mason Jar Bouquet Card

I love the new CTMH stamp set Mason Jar Bouquet because the jar can be used multiple ways. The photo does not show that I covered the jar with acetate to give it a shine. I used Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers to color the flower. When using the Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers I get the best results using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock. The ink does not bleed the black ink and the markers glide easily on the cardstock.




To make this card I used:

Stamps: CTMH Mason Jar Bouquet

Paper: CTMH Whisper White, CTMH Carolina Cardstock, CTMH These are My People Paper Pack and Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black, CTMH Pewter, Glacier, CTMH Carolina Exclusive Ink and Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers

Accessories: Sponge Dauber, 3D Foam Thin, 3D Foam Tape and unknown white cord
