Hello,
This card was made with trash basically. I used an acetate package that held acetate snowflakes and just used the box part for my shaker. I got a padded envelope out of the trash, cut it open and used the inside to apply paint to my yellow card stock (brown and white).
I stamped my image and used it as the back cover for my box of beads and little acrylic leaves.
The die cut wheat stocks would have been thrown away because they would not come out of the die and kinda tore apart.
Thanks for looking!

Wow! Robin, your cards are always gorgeous, and this is no exception! That ribbon with the bits of wheat are a perfect touch, and congrats on making beauty out of your "trash"!

That shaker element is beautiful, Robin, I love the colours in it, and the tiny leaves. The button with the wheat at the top looks great too, you are one of those who really has a way with ribbon which I like. Sorry the flu shot side-swiped you, hope that means it was a good mix this year!

I have to hand it Robin, if anyone can think out of the box and think so creatively, YOU can! This is gorgeous and so very different, all from trash! I just love your design, your unique background and your bow and button!

Oh, Robin, what a fabulous idea to use the package for a shaker card. Brilliant! And I love the fall colors and beautiful shaker mix along with the great sentiment! I agree with Sabrina that you have such a wonderful way with bows! Love it, precious friend! Hugs! xoxo

From trash to treasure! Robin this is beautiful and I love the way that packaging made a preformed shaker box - I would never have thought of that but MARVELOUS idea
