Violet Shaker

Hello and welcome.

I hope you are having a good weekend.

It's dreary and rainy here today.  A perfect day to stay inside and craft
or catch up a bit on blogging.

Last month I was playing with the Papertrey ink Year of Flowers violets.

You can see those cards here if you're interested or need a refresher.

This card came about because of an unwanted smudge on the flower piece.

I covered it with an aperture and because we're using acetate for CAS Mix Up

this month, I decided to make it into a shaker card.

I cut a matching aperture in a piece of fun foam and adhered it over the design piece.

The acetate was adhered behind the aperture cut in the front piece

that had been splattered and stamped with a sentiment.

I made sure to add adhesive close to the opening, added a few sequins and

micro beads, and very carefully adhered the pieces together.

(Those sequins are purple IRL not blue.  Silly camera!)
