Anyhow, I had a bit of fun making a shaker card with the Rounded Scallop Frame Die, the Golden Glam Shaker Mix and the Happy Graduation plain jane. The background for the card is my favorite part and I was a little sad to cover up so much of it. Last week during the HSN craft event, I ordered a boxed set of Anna Griffin embossing folders and dies and I am in LOVE! Seriously, every single one is divine. This one is called Pomegranate Paisley. I embossed cream card stock with the folder, then scribbled gelatos in green and turquoise all over it, blended with a baby wipe and then lightly rubbed a black oil pastel over the entire thing. A bit more blending with the baby wipe and it just popped off the page.
The flowers and leaves are from the Bloom & Grow set, embossed on black paper with gold embossing paper and cut with the coordinating Floral Circles Die Set and Elegant Leaves Die. I lightly rolled some versamark ink around the edges of the two flowers and added a bit more embossing powder for a gilded edge.
The top piece is black cardstock with the distresssed polka dots from Better Together embossed in gold, and then I took a Flourished Trim Die, dipped it in versamark and embossed with gold to match my card. A bit of ribbon and some liquid pearls around my shaker and I was done.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous start to your Easter weekend!

So sorry your home has been plagued with such sickness. I know it is zero fun. I love shaker cards!!
Julee it always amazes me the things you can create with mixed media! This is absolutely gorgeous. Hope your poor Kellan gets better soon. I know it is stressing you out.
