AAA Cards #139
Okay, I had to prove to myself that I could make a shaker card. I tried one earlier for AAA Cards and their optional twist on a sketch challenge and it ended in the trash. This time I knew better than to use fun foam and went with the foam strips. Success!
I heat embossed the background stamp from CF on mixed media paper and selectively colored some of the flowers with Distress Inks after cutting out the MFT numbers. I've had those little flower sequins for so long I don't remember where they came from. It took me a while to decide how to do the rest of the sentiment and I'm still not happy with it but everyone does the white embossing on black to ground the card and I usually like that look. This card is for my granddaughter Abby. I have triplet grandchildren who will be 21 on May 15. I posted Kyle's card to AAA Birthday yesterday and you can see that here. I'll post Emily's card tomorrow.

It looks terrific Bobby! I like the soft coloring on some of the embossed flowers. Happy Birthday to your grandkids!
Love the little flower shakers and the soft, pastel flowers, Bobby! The texture from the embossing that you've left uncolored is wonderful and the stacked sentiment adds wonderful dimension!
If we're starting a list of supplies to share, Bobby, I'd love to stamp a few of this gorgeous background!! What a sweet shaker... YOU DID IT!!! perfectly!

Well you certainly challenged yourself with the shaker window shapes! Looks amazing and you must have a tremendous feeling of satisfaction now. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you joining in with future challenges too.
Wow Bobby this is beautiful. Love the heat embossed background with the selective soft colours. How perfect to use flower shaped sequins to match. My granddaughter celebrates her 27th today - and with her Mum on Mother's Day. A stunning 21st shaker card. Big celebrations coming up! Hope you are able to be there for this special occasion.
I am so glad you didn't give up, Bobby! I love your cute, flower shakers. Thank you for sharing with us at AAA Cards. =) Tracie
