I use the embossing folder to create the shell background. The embossing folder has a die in it to cut the Apture around the embossed shells at the same time as the embossing. I sponged the embossed areas with the distress inks Mustard seed, rusty hinge, peacock feathers. Once that ink was dry I went over the raise areas with black ink. Behind the Apture space I added some acetate and using the piece cut out for the background part of the shaker card.
