5. Cut a small piece of acetate and adhere to centre window of black die cut. Add foam tape to this section and create a shaker with ice sequins. Adhere foam tape all around the edge of the frame and adhere the background piece from step 3 to close the shaker.

6. Ink ‘Hello’ laser cut with Versamark embossing ink and heat emboss with ebony embossing powder. Die cut the sentiment with the Cut-a-Part Essentials #5 die and trim down.

7. Stamp succulents and colour with the colouring medium of your choice (I used Copic Markers). Die cut with matching fussy cutting dies.
