First of all, I have a shaker card to share with you-->Ta-da!
There is NO stamping required for this card. It is all about inlaid die cutting. I made a few dies from assorted colors and arranged them onto the blue card stock (with the dies cut out). The surface is flat. Therefore, it is perfect for a shaker card.
Now, about the giveaway!
I said it...
Supplies: Heartfelt Metal Thin Creative Die (Penny Black), Soft Caress ( Penny Black), DCWV paper, sequins (Lemon Meringue, Fresh Mint) by Pretty Pink Posh, white foam, Stitched Rectangles
