this is for the inspiration challenge. When I looked at the fabrics I was drawn to the pink and brown. I love that combination and broke into my long-hoarded package of Au Chocolat paper! I used my nesties to make a fram for may shaker and used the new k & Co. paper for the back of the shaker. I had cuttled some of my paisleys out of watercolor paper and used the inside bits of flowers and hearts for the shaking stuff. I am happy that I had the good sense to leave them white, I had thought about coloring them... (Rule in lighting and in All design is *if you highlight everything, nothing stands out*...) I also added to the shake mix beads in shades of pinks and pearly white, and some tiny red star sequins. 2 layers of ribbon are behind the shaker and a butterfly sticker perches on the upper corner! I took the morning off from swimming and really concentrated on making this card and did not rush. It was quite enjoyable to take my time and think through each step. Hope ya like my card and TFL!

So beautiful, Nancy! Isn't it nice when you can take the time to make your card? I always feel so rushed, too, with working full-time. I look forward to the day I can retire and leisurely stamp!
