Warmth, Joy, Happiness - a Domed Chloche card

I was not familiar with the meaning of "cloche" so I 'googled' it.  This is what I found out.

Cloche is French for "bell"

In agriculture and gardening, a cloche is a covering for protecting plants from cold temperatures.  The original form of a cloche was a  bell shaped glass cover that was placed over an individual plant.  Modern cloches are usually made from plastic.

Indoors a similar cover is used to display or protect ornamental objects or placed over food. 

In card making it is a bell shaped cover that protects/ covers stamped images with or without shaker elements.

In the card below, the cloche shaker dome protects the image and contains the shaker elements.
