I'm squeezing in quickly to the Uniko Studio Challenge #9, where our wonderfully creative hostess, Bev and her talenedt DT, have tempted us with a lovely palette of Spring colours:
Flowers and stamps means I'm also adding a second card to the May Challenge at STAMPlorations, which is a most welcoming, warm place to play,
as well as to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Spring Flowers
Although we've had sunny skies for a couple of days, the 'greening up' of our area is taking its time, as well it should. Two years ago, we had a major snowstorm in June. Yes, you read that right: June! Spring in Alberta is slow in coming, so until it does, I'll enjoy blooms of the paper variety...
NOTE: Honoured and delighted to have my card selected as a Uniko Studio Challenge "showcase." THANK YOU!!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!
I should have known. I can hear that thing rattling all the way to here. Spring must have arrived. Beautiful Shaker card. I must admit they are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteFabulous use of the colors and such a lovely flower! Whoever receives this one will be thrilled! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shaker card design I really need to try to make one.

ReplyDeleteThose colours just make me happy and that flower is gorgeous! Great shaker card :) Hubby, born and raised in AB, told me AB has had snow in every month of the year! Oh my! I'll pay the high taxes in BC and stay I think LOL!
ReplyDeletefabulous Cafol and the sequins are perfect for this. I love how you have placed the flower on the edge. I have in mind a shaker card I want to make for my Mum as she loved one I showed her last week (the only one I have ever made!). Must act on the idea soon!
