Challenge 39 - Teach Me - Shaker

Let me just say this was my first shaker and although kinda cool, kinda hard when you have all these little beads all over the place.  Also after you have sealed it up and decide maybe you would like a little less in there.  Anyhow, it is still a very cool concept and can really make a card.

I had many first for me on this card.  This was the first time I used a Spellbinder (let me tell you I bought a bunch and am so happy I did!  Love it and it is so much easier then pulling out my Cricut for things.)
It is the first time I used chalk to fill in the back ground, Although hard to see in the picture it really did make a difference not being all white.  The last first as I stated before this was the first time I did a shaker card.

The choice is always so hard every week and then you always hope that you don't do the same one everyone else is doing, but when I heard shaker and took a look I knew that I was for sure going to try it with Take Me Away . I thought that it would be fun to do something with bubbles!

I colored my digital stamp with Copic markers, which as I use them more; I can't imagine how I ever colored stamps in before them.  I just love how well they blend, and although when you take a picture the colors never look as great as they really do, you can see how high quality they are.

I purchased 2 different sizes of clear iridescent beads to give the feel of different size bubbles.

The last thing I am going to say about the shaker card is that it is so hard to take a picture of.  I had to do it from a angle, but it turned out okay.  I hope you all enjoy me attempt this week.
