I hope you're having a good weekend, and creating lots of crafty stuff. It's freezing here, which is perfect for staying indoors, making a big pot of soup, watching movies, and making stuff. I got some time in my craft room yesterday, which I was thankful for, and I'm hoping to spend more time in there today.
I'm excited to share my card today. It's my very first shaker card! Shaker cards continue to be more and more popular, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here is how it turned out.
I am pretty excited, although I'm thinking that next time, I should not add glitter. I rubbed my acetate with a dryer sheet to try to remove the static, but it didn't work. And yep, you read correctly, I said glitter. I finally broke down and bought a few different colors, so that I could use them in shaker cards. I will handle it with great caution, and pray I don't get it everywhere. lol The sketch I used for this just screamed shaker card to me, so I went with it. I embossed the sentiment on vellum again, and added a bit of twine and a couple of tiny paper flowers that I inked in red. I am totally loving this card, and I can see many more shaker cards being made, very soon. I am going to submit this card for the following challenges.

Hopefully, I'll have more cards to share over the next few days. I'm not planning on leaving the house, and am going to try to spend lots of time in my craft room today. I do hope you'll stop by again soon. Lots of fun stuff happening over the next few weeks.
Stay warm!
