The colour purple has been on my mind since Becca Cruger announced her annual The Hop To STOP, so I'm taking this opportunity to remind everyone that it is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and that Becca is uniting papercrafters all over the world to increase awareness for the victims of domestic violence. You can read all about it on my earlier post HERE as well as heading on over to Becca's post HERE. I hope that you will get creative and share your purple projects for this great cause.
With the background set, I hope you like my card.
I really enjoyed the birthday shaker card I made earlier this month (HERE) and just had to add another to our much needed feminine birthday card stash.
The tubes of sequins had the tiny negative bits as well and because I didn't have a variety of sizes in purple, I decided to use them too, filling the shaker well with them all, even adhering some to the card front as accents.
I think the sequins, "confetti bits" and seed beads make for a pretty mix together.

Your purple shaker card is gorgeous! I love to make shakers and I haven't made any lately - now I want to make another one! I'm glad you are supporting the Hop to Stop.
ReplyDeleteThank You :)
DeleteI hope you do make some shakers, they are fun to make, fun to give and hopefully fun for the recipient too!
I love the purple colours, and those sequins are gorgeous! What a fab design, and a beautiful sentiment font too. Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More!
ReplyDeleteThank You Esther :)
DeleteWell I KNOW the sequins, confetti mix, and beads make a stunning mix. :) This card definitely sparkles and shines! Thank you for linking up for the Hop to Stop with such beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteThank You Becca :)
DeleteAND THANK YOU for all you do to increase awareness of domestic violence and bring the papercrafting community together for such an important cause!
This is a shaker card with a sense of humor. It fooled me into thinking some sequins had escaped, lol. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank You Jean :)
Delete... and yes, bundles of sequins really did escape, they always seem to do that for me and turn up in the strangest of places!
Great shaker card Tracy! Thanks for sharing with us at Glitter 'N' Sparkle!
ReplyDeleteThank You Judy :)
DeleteBrilliant card and I love the idea of using the little bits never thought of that and it looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp this week X
Thank You Tracy :)
Delete... I've never used those confetti bits before but will be from now on
I love shakers! And this one is very pretty! I can't even imagine gluing down the teeny tine confetti...
ReplyDeleteThank You Rebecca :)
DeleteIt really wasn't any trouble gluing them down, just put down some tiny dots of Tombow Mono Multi, let it dry for a few seconds then they were securely in place, actually easier than normal cupped sequins.
This is such a fun shaker card. I love that you included the negative bits and that you added some to the outside of the card. Thanks for joining us over at Inkspirational!
ReplyDeleteThank You Kim :)
DeleteYour card is stunning! I love the purple. Using the sequins on the outside of the shaker really makes this card special
