SIP and Global Design Project.....birthday wishes shaker

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

Popping in here quickly to share a card I made using the sketch at Stamps, Ink, Paper Challenge

and the theme challenge at Global Design Challenge

When I first saw this sketch I immediately thought shaker card and the Global Design Challenge party theme  was perfect for my shaker card too.  I have to say I have not made very many shakers and I also have to say that shaker cards and I are not best friends.

This card took an inordinate amount of time for me to make. 

I used Crumb Cake for the base and the DSP is from the It's My Party stack.

I used my new stitched rectangle dies on the base piece and the shaker piece, love those dies.

The sentiment is from the Build a Birthday stamp set.

My thought originally was to put a few candles to the side but ended up doing the little pennants instead.

I think they are cute. I used a paper doily under the shaker piece for some added texture.

I filled my shaker with a bunch of gold sequins and then added a few around the card as well.

I like how my shaker eventually turned out but it was way out of my comfort zone, which is a good thing every now and then. 

Thanks for stopping by today.
