This is for WT176, Negative Thoughts. The aim was to use the space left behind after you have punched something out. I like this concept, I always try to use the frames of chipboard pieces as well as the proper bit. And I've often used punches to make stencils, which I suppose would count as the negative aspect.
But for today I made a shaker card. I punched a scallop circle out of a square, and then trimmed it down to a circle with a Fiskars ShapeCutter. I used 2 layers of fun foam to make the box. The back of the box is the same yellow Bazzill, with a Hero Arts Sentiment stamped in brown.
To fill the other side of the card I drew in a stem and added some punched flowers. The shakes in the shaker are those gorgeous Hero Arts sequins in brown and yellow shades, so I used green ones for the centres of the flowers. I added a border of green all round the edge, scalloping the bottom, and more green sequins topped with pearsl in the corners. The little bird is BG Grow-a-Garden

Wow! This is super. Love how you used the negative space to make a shaker card. The whole design is so colorful and cheerful! This is going in my favorites and I think I may have to CASE it as well. TFS!
