Today's Inspiration Challenge site was Annes Paper Creations. I used this post of Anne's blog for the theme of my card. Day 4 of the Online Card Classes Wild Card class was all about Shaker cards. One of the cards demonstrated was a snow globe. I used Kelly Marie's instructions but made a porthole into the ocean rather than a snow globe. Her supplies list included glycerin to make the water a little more viscous. I didn't have any glycerin, but I remembered years ago instructions for a similar card, and they used styling gel. I still had the bottle of styling gel I bought then, so I added a little bit of that to the water instead. It seemed to have the same result as the glycerin. Then I added a little glitter. When you move the card side-to-side, the water and glitter move around inside the porthole.

Amazing! I thought this was a fabulous shaker card and even more so, when I read that your used real water (plus). Wow. Love the porthole and the fish is so, so cute. The colors are great. Love the punny sentiment. Love the sparkle, too! Wonderful done. TFS

True inspiration genius! I love how the window looks frosty and that it really looks like the fish is under water! I just might have to take that class too! You've inspired me!
