Wedding Shaker Card

This is my second post for today.  When I read the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today and saw the sequin shaker cards, I just knew I had to play.  (Plus, the need to enter the challenge was a great excuse for me to procrastinate some work-related tasks I need to spend time on this weekend!)

I was especially inspired by Julie Ebersol and Maureen P.'s shaker cards.  I loved the simplicity and the clean and simple look of their work.  Mine is less CAS, but still keeps the clean lines of their cards.   I knew the shaker card idea would be great for a co-worker's wedding card.  Her colors are coral and gray.  I also used this necklace from this week's Inspiration Challenge #438 at Splitcoast Stampers.

WPlus9's Fresh Cut Florals stamp set and matching dies are featured in the card.

    Really, really pretty. The embossed background is wonderful, and I love that you've used Fresh Cut Florals and sequins in somewhat muted tones. This is really lovely. Bev

    Loving the texture you made with that fabulous embossing folder. It makes the middle part of your card pop. Thank you so much for sharing your marvelous creation with us at 4 Crafty Chicks Embossing Challenge.
