Hello there! Did you see that there is a new release available from Simon Says Stamp?! The Happy and Joyful release is amazing (aren't they all?) and Simon was so kind to send me the GORGEOUS Celebrate Rose Corner stamp set. You can also get the matching die or both as a bundle. This set has a large floral image and many, many wonderful sentiments. (Compensated affiliate links used when possible. Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you. Thank you for your support. All links listed at the bottom on this post.) Take a look at what I created:
For this first card I stamped the floral image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copic markers. Once I was done I decided that I was going to try my hand at making an edge to edge shaker. I have been saving packaging material for several months now in order to give it a try. There was a little bit of a learning curve for me, but I love the look! Once I got things worked out I filled my shaker pouch with the pretty SSS shaker mix called Mini Hearts Party. I was so intent on making my edge to edge shaker that I forgot about a sentiment! I ended up combing two sentiments from the set together and embossing them in black on vellum. I trimmed the sentiment down and wrapped it round the front. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I think it turned out okay.
The second card looks a lot like the first card just without the shaker element, lol! I guess I was in a mood to color with shades of pinky reds! For this one I pulled out my Jane Davenport Brights watercolors and did simple watercoloring after heat embossing the image in white on watercolor paper. Once I was done and the image was dry I die cut it with a A2 rectangle die. The sentiment was embossed in white on vellum, trimmed down and adhered with rolled up glue dots. I finished with some sparkly gems.
Make sure you check out the new release. Below is an affiliate list of many of the supplies I used:

Your shaker is more than OK Rosemary it's gorgeous, great idea to add vellum for the sentiment. Your second card? so different but not, if you get my meaning, is also Gorgeous. Love the lighter green and the white sentiment
