A Shaker Birthday Card

I recently pinned a beautiful card by Angela, thinking that it would make a great shaker card.  I loved her mix of a striped frame with those lovely florals. August is full of birthdays in my family, and this CASE of Angela's card will be for my sister.  Thanks, Angela, for your inspiration, I love your style!


supplies: Hero Arts Happy Birthday Message, an oldie from 2001, Simon Doll Pink ink, papers from KaiserCraft Hey Birdie Collection, Wplus9 Folk Art Florals leaf dies, Simon's Partial Cut Flowers dies, Anna Griffin Rosa embossing folder, white enamel dots, pink and green sequins

Thanks for stopping by today.

eta: Thanks to Cornelia's comment below, I'm entering this card into the AAA Cards Game #13: Make a Shaker Card.   Kind of neat, because Angela is a DT there!
