MFT + Marianne Designs - Bastille Day - Shaker Card

Hello there!

Today is July 14th and we celebrate Bastille day here in France. For the occasion I've made quite a large card showcasing the Eiffel tower and the colors of the French flag. Hope you'll like it.

I first started by cutting my three pieces of pattern papers, and used a stitched line to add cute details of each one. I attached them on a piece of white cardstock and die cut the Eiffel tower. To create my shaker, I attached a piece of clear acetate at the back of my panel, as well as a piece of fun foam. I applied some powder to avoid any stickiness of the double sided tape showing.

On another piece of white cardstock, I attached a piece of the same white pattern paper as the one on the main panel so the Eiffel tower would have a coordinated background. I prepared my shaker material using blue and red sequins and white beads, and placed everything in the tower hole. Next I attached the second piece of white cardstock at the back to close the shaker.

Then I stamped my images on white cardstock, colored them using my alcohol markers and cut them using the coordinating dies. I also die cut some clouds from another set, and attached all these elements on my panel using foam squares.

I attached my panel on a piece of heavy white cardstock. And to finish the card, I decided to add some sparkles. So I die cut the word celebrate four times: three times from white cardstock, and one time from gold glitter paper, glued the pieces together and then attached the piece on top of the Eiffel tower.
