Statement of the Heart Shaker Card - a catalogue sneak peak

It's been a while since I've made a shaker card and the stamp set "Statement of the Heart" lends itself well to that technique.  I've also had a request to do a class on shaker cards in 2 weeks time so this was a perfect time to refresh my memory.

Using the Hearts Framelits, I die cut an aperture large enough in the Bundle of Love DSP, so the entire sentiment would be visible.  Some Window sheet was adhered on wrong side,

On a separate piece of Very Vanilla card stock the sentiment was stamped with the assistance of the Stamparatus. The heart was coloured with a red marker.

After adding some tiny glitter pearls (non SU) as shaker elements, the two layers were adhered together to form a shaker.

Some 3/8" Very Vanilla stitched satin ribbon and a bow was adhered to the left side of the card before the two layers were added together.

Die cut flowers from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and coordinating Bouquet Bunch framelits were used to decorate around the heart.  The colours were kept soft and muted, using Blushing Bride and Soft Sky on the flowers, and leaving the leaves in Very Vanilla.  Small pearls were added to the center of each flower.

To finish the card I added some Clear Wink of Stella to each bloom.
