Growing in Unity: Shaker!

It's day 2 of my Growing in Unity week and I'm excited about this shaker card. I took inspiration from Jennifer McGuire's video using acetate--check it out! I decided to try a similar stained glass effect with the Wild & Free kit, acetate, and alcohol markers.


Once I colored the flower, I knew I wanted to make a shaker. I die cut a window, stamped the sentiment to the card front, and added some sequins and glitter. This was the result and I love it!


It was a quick, fun card with a bright pop of color. I like how the alcohol markers react and blend together on the acetate. It reminds me of how alcohol ink reacts on yupo and I look forward to experimenting with alcohol ink and acetate in the future!


Thanks for stopping by to check out day 2! Don't forget to leave a comment each day this week for a change to win a grab bag of fantastic red rubber stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

  7. I have had so many problems with stamping on acetate. One friend helped, I used the same exact materials as she did, hers came out fine, and mine smeared. I do like the idea of alcohol inks on the acetate, I should be able to do that!!! Pretty card!
