Just for You - a Shaker card for #601 Try Stampin on Tuesday

 For this challenge I decided to make a shaker card.  That circle in the sketch was calling out to me "shake it up" - so of course - I did.

The theme was to use pastel colours, so the cardstock used in this card featured Crumb Cake with Seaside Spray.



The theme for this card was to use pastel colours.  Keeping that in mind, I used Crumb Cake for the card base, and layered that with Basic White.  On top of that was adhered a 3 1/2 by 5 1/4" piece of Seaside Spray card stock embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing folder.

In the left end, I used a Circle Stylish Die to create a 2" aperture for the shaker. A piece of clear window sheet was adhered to the wrong side of the die cut circle. Strips of foam tape were added to the edges of the Seaside Spray piece, pastel sequins were added and the shaker was born.  

A frame was added around the outer circle.  This was made by die cutting a piece of Basic White card stock with 2 sizes of the circle die at the same time.

Around the bottom of the circle, I added flowers and greenery from the Framed Florets stamp set.  The flowers were coloured with Light Calypso Coral stampin blend.  The Daffodil Delight in the center was covered up with gold Prills giving the flowers a bit of texture.  I also die cut 2 daisy flowers using the Dainty Delight dies.  I coloured only the center of these .  The leaves and greenery were lightly coloured with Soft Succulent blends,

After lightly shaping the flowers and leaves, I added them around the bottom of the circle using dimensionals. After they were set in place I added some Crystal Effects around the edges of the petals.

The sentiment was stamped on a 1/2 by 3" piece of Basic White .  One edge was notched and then it was added across the middle of the circle using dimensionals.

To finish the card, I added some adhesive backed sequins and a dragonfly trinket.
