I am your hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and I am inviting you to play along and use Sweet Sugarplum, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight on your project. The dessert option is BLING.
This card features the stamp and die set, Botanical Blossoms. I went nuts over this set when it first came out, bought it right away, and have used it exactly once! Expect to see more cards from me with these beautiful flowers; I am going to make up for lost time!
I got my inspiration for the tulle shaker from the amazing Jennifer McGuire. She showed several ways to use inexpensive tulle instead of acetate for your shaker window. This method makes a card that's perfect for mailing. You don't need to use foam tape behind the shaker window—just regular adhesive. The sequins shake around just fine.
I did bling this card up, with the sequins in the shaker and on the front, as well as the rhinestone in the center of the flower.

Barbara, your color combination for the challenge is absolutely awesome. Your tulle shaker card is fabulous and I love the flower made with the botanical blossoms die.

Your flowers framing the opening of the shaker element is really effective! Makes a beautiful window! I have never seen the tulle used for a shaker before - really cool.
