Sending You Sunshine...

Good morning!
First card on the menu, a shaker card.
I used the Porthole to make this shaker card and I like it.
The beads and shaker bits look like colorful sand/rock
bits you might find in a fish tank but it makes it fun.
Maybe it is just a bunch of sea creepers wondering
over the coral reef, eh?
The background was made using the Wood Grain Background
on tan paper and doing some partial coloring to "bring
out" the grain.
The porthole was stamped on copper paper then added
some aging with Copics.
I re-stamped the image and cut out just the hinges and
glued them on then inserted copper brads.
I glued the acetate to the back then made a circle of popup behind just the porthole frame and set aside to make the scene inside.
The underwater scene was made with the School of Fish
and the 3 in 1 Ocean Floor.
After making the scene, I carefully filled it with shaker bits, completely avoiding the edges.
I put glue on my pop up ring (on the porthole frame)
then turned it over onto the scene with bits.
I put an acrylic block on top until it dried to make
sure it dried flat with no gaps.
I glued the woodgrain panel to a tan then brown panel.
Used a copper panel in an
embossing folder then mounted it on dark brown
then onto the wood grain.
I embossed the sentiment, Sending You Sunshine,
onto dark brown using copper embossing powder.
When card base was finished I glued
the porthole shaker to the card.
Mickey and Goofy are stickers I got a long time ago when I was scrapbooking and thought that we would eventually
get back to Disneyland...that
didn't happen!! Now I no longer scrapbook!
My DRS Design stamps used: 3 in 1 Ocean Floor,
I used the 3 in 1 Ocean Floor several times, masking.
The School of Fish was also used more than once, masking.
once the scene was complete for placing purposes.
The sea bottom is torn tan paper.
I only used part of the sentiment and the water at the top was
lightly stenciled with a sunray stencil (Tim Holtz).
Thank you for visiting today!
New stamps will be available in the on-line store May 11.

Oh my goodness, these cards are so fun! I love the second with the added Disney characters! Too cute! My daughter is a huge Disney fan. She’d go nuts over this one!
Wow! The first time I saw the porthole, I knew you would make the best shaker! I love the colorful bits and the whole designed the card :)
And how cute and clever to use the diving themed stickers on top of this AMAZING scene! So well done Robin!
Very cool, Robin! Your underwater scenes are wonderful. I love the woodgrain & rickrack on the first & the copper brads are super. Your Mickey & Goofy diving team are so fun & so colorful.
Love the way you did the porthole, Robin. Some brilliant coloring and designing. I am so impressed. Wish I had some copper paper!!!! Wonderful shaker design too.
The card with Mickey and Goofy is sooooo much fun! Love how happy they look with the cool new fish and great sea bottom you made.
Fabulous post. Hugz
