For my card I used MFP set called Sand Dollar mini 

I started by gluing layers of a paper bag together. I stamped the sand dollar using black stazon ink. I cut it out.



You can see how many layers there were here. 


After I cut it out I shaped the sand dollar over my finger.

I sprayed gold onto a piece of cheesecloth. It was really shiny.

My card used this week's Monday Mojo Sketch.

I finished it into an easel card, because I love that the finished card has it's own stand.
