Evening All,

Way back in April I made a bunch of Easter cards using a set of layering dies from Memory Box. See Original Post 

As I said at the time, there were loads of 'bits' that seemed too good to throw away, so I turned them into a few shaker cards, one of which I sent to my little sister for her Birthday today.

I used a couple of large floral dies from Dawn Bibby for the central image on my cards.
Unfortunately as with any shaker card, the acetate makes getting a decent photograph rather difficult.
I filled the black and white version with all of the white die cut pieces along with plenty of glittery bits and pieces from Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer range.
I also created a kraft version for the pink and green 'bits'.I added a bit of gilding wax to the die cut panel for a little added colour.

 Afternoon,

As I told you yesterday I am still on the DT for Creative Expressions, and today I received a fabulous parcel of stamps and dies to play with for Sam Poole's show on Create and Craft next week.

I haven't done anything crafty for weeks so this is just the spur that I need to get me going again.

In the mean time here is another Designer Boutique card made for Creative Expressions.

I added Peeled Paint, Forest Moss and Faded Jeans Distress inks to a long rectangular acrylic block before spritzing it with a little water and stamping it on to watercolour card stock.
Once dry stamp and emboss UMSDB036 Twilight Grazing  onto the watercolour background and trim. Also add a sentiment from USMDB042 Sending Love stamp set.
I added some Brushed Corduroy distress ink around the edges and then mounted the panel onto black card.
