Tamiko's Challenge #4 - A Summer Shaker!

Are you ready for another Tamiko's challenge?  Let's go!  Joy, of Tamiko's, challenges you to create a shaker card in a summer theme.  A shaker?  What's that?  Well, check out Beate Johns' simple tutorial on how to make a shaker card.  Click {HERE}.  If you feel the need to get ambitious, try the double shaker card.  Teri, of big Ideas From A Little Girl, has a 2 part tutorial on how to make it.  Click {HERE} for Part 1 & {HERE} for Part 2.


Sugar, Oh Honey, Honey . . . Yep, I used Bikini Honey for my shaker card (Thanks Shirley for her!).  In fact, I turned this shaker into an easel card. 


You likey?  :)  Honey is chillin' on the sand, soaking up the sun!  She's getting a bit dark, but thankfully, Honey has applied her SPF 30 sunscreen.


Here's a closer look . . .


I Diamond Glazed her sunglasses and tore a piece of DP to create the sand on which she is sitting on.   Some assorted beads and microbeads in clear, whites, and yellows were added for the shaker effect. 

Come join in on the summer fun!  The winner will receive this Honey the Hottie!  :)  You can purchase Honey and some of her buddies at the Tamiko's Online Store.  With a purchase of $25 or more, shipping will be FREE (only valid in the USA)!!  Click {HERE} to see the full details of the challenge.
