Hello lovely peeps
I'm back with the second shaker card that I started at cardmaking club on Thursday.
This was as far as I got initially :o)
The flamingo die was from a Chinese seller on ebay and I used it to cut an aperture in one of the papers in the First Edition Paradise Crush 8x8 paper pad. I backed it with acetate and cut a slightly larger mat of a matching paper to frame it. It looked a bit busy with the pattern behind the aperture so I added a rectangle of white card before adding 2 layers of foam tape and pink sequins.
I picked out some more of the gorgeous papers to layer up a 7x7" card and cut flowers out of one of them to use as embellishments.
There are a couple of other papers in the pad that have butterflies and flamingos on, so I cut some of those out too. To match the lovely turquoise colour around the flamingo I cut some Bonnets and Bowties Solids paper with a Memory Box 'Tropical Leaf' die.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Oh, Katrina, I love this one too! So fun that you use the flamingo as an aperture, I have to remember that. Thanks again for joining us this week at Little Red Wagon!
This is absolutely lovely - it really speaks to me as last week I saw flamingoes in the wild for the first time ever and I'm still bursting with excitement about it. Thank you for joining in our challenge at Quirky Crafts
