Vintage nautical shaker card

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a shaker card with a vintage nautical theme. 

For the bottom layer of my card, I have used this lovely wood texture paper from my stash. Next, I have used this beautiful blue paper from ManuDesign Studio. I used a circle die to cut the space for the part of the shaker card. I adhered a cello bag behind the paper and added brown and blue sequins. 

For the top layer of my card, I used a larger circle die along with Kraft cardstock, which I ran through an embossing folder to give more interest. 

Next, I fussy cut this wonderful vintage Sailor boy image, which I edged with Vintage photo distress ink. 

Finally, I added a word label and some floral arrangements of blue and white mulberry flowers.
