House of Cards May Challenge

 

Why hello!  Time for a fab new House of Cards challenge!  We're asking you to use either vellum or acetate in your makes.  So fun!

For my card I went with a flat shaker.  I cut out 2 rectangular pieces of acetate then stitched them on 3 sides.  I then added the glitter to the resulting pouch and sewed up the remaining side.  I prefer stitching over glue--less messy--but that would have worked too.  The shaker allows the glitter to move but also keeps some in place like little bubbles.  Cute!

For the oval and coral I used a branch die on its side.  I had seen the die this way at the shop and hadn't realized it was a branch until I read the package when I got home.  LOL.  I glued the shaker to the front of the card then mounted that on blue card.  After the fact I thought of adding in some waves.  Next time!
