I chose to use part of the packaging from some pretty little flowers I bought at Michaels. They came in a package of three colors and each little section is great for shaker cards! I used buttons inside my shaker! I am so ready for Fall and cooler temperatures! The heat lately has been unbearable! The background and the center of the sunflower are embossed with the ProvoCraft Swiss Dots Embossing Folder #37-1604 and sponged. To make the shaker, I cut three Spellbinders flowers and cut a hole in the center of one of them. Then I used Beacon 3-1 glue to attach the clear packaging piece. I did have to make some snips in the circle to get it to fit around the circle. I added lace around the edge to help hide the edges that were unfinished looking. The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs' new set called appropriately Happy Fall! I also sprayed Peach Delight Glimmer mist on the flower and the brown background.
Here are the supplies I used:
