Pink and Silver

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's been a busy month and I was determined to do a card for Color Hues.


Pink and silver reminded me of my granddaughter, Emmy, who has a birthday
coming up.

I got really ambitious and made her a shaker card.
I had the perfect glitter from WOW for the shakers.  It has tiny silver stars mixed
with the silver glitter.

I used patterned paper for the background and after cutting a circle from it,
I embossed it with a NBUS embossing folder.

Some of the shake stars found their way to the center of the embossed flowers.

I also used a NBUS die that a friend had recently gifted me.

I couldn't decide between white or silver for the Happy Birthday circle so I used both
and offset the white so the silver shows a bit.  The angle of the photo doesn't
seem to show that though.

I used layers of die cut circles for depth instead of foam.  The fine shakers
have room to move but hopefully the glitter won't escape.

I didn't photograph the inside but it's a money holder with a pocket to hold
a crisp bill. They always fit.

Challenges:
Color Hues #77 - Pink & Silver
NBUS #57 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Embossing Folder & Die)

  1. Very pretty shaker card in pink & silver. I bet Emmy will love it too. I have a great granddaughter named Emily but goes by Emee and her birthday was a week ago. A fun coincidence

  2. Lovely card Bonnie. Pink and silver is a nice combination and I bet the card really sparkles in the flesh so to speak. I expect along with its contents it will be well received! xxx

  3. Bonnie, I love the background on that EF and the fun circle greeting. A shaker always makes a birthday extra special, and of course the money inside will help too. I am sure Emmy will love it! Thanks for taking the time to join us at Color Hues during this busy season and I wish you all the best in 2024!

  9. This is a very pretty shaker card for your granddaughter Emmy who will love it I'm sure, and I love the embossed flowers with the sweet little stars in the centres, and the circular die cut sentiment plate looks great Bonnie. I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and am looking forward to visiting you throughout 2024. x
