Impression Obsession - All About the Dies - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of our Impression Obsession die showcase!  See the I.O. blog for all the details!  You can visit the I.O. Blog each day of the hop for links to the previews. Make sure to comment for a chance to WIN!

I thought it would be fun to use the negative Mason Jar cut in a shaker card - what do you think?


Here's how the shaker looks behind the card panel - there is an embossed acetate layer between the opening and the shaker pouch, and the pouch is stuck onto the back side of the panel. I used a small spoon to put the dew drops into the opening (whyyy do I have so many of these again?).


I watercolored a shadow under the jar, and added a few dew drops to the card front to make them look like they're spilling out. So fun! The lid is popped up on a strip of foam tape.
