CAS[E] this Sketch #234

The lovely Donna Mikasa is up as our Sketch designer this week... check it out!  It's a beauty:


I had a shaker in mind, and an idea - see if you think it was a good one!

I have this cute little Waffle Flower die ... the leftovers looked like hugs ... as in XXs!  so why not use them?  sweetest snippets EVER!



I've backed the cut-out with acetate so it is a see-through...

MFT Peek a boo square, and shaker inserts.

... then added a PPP Sweet-Pea mix of sequins to add just the right colors of green and pink to match the bits of colored cardstock to my linen card-base.

I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration today to play along with us ... if not, there are oodles of ideas at our CTS blog - Donna, and all of my team-mates are so incredibly talented!

    Ha ha! I still haven't managed to get my hands on some Opal Fruits (it's what Starburst used to be called in the UK when I was a kid), but now I definitely want the sour ones :-)
    This is such a pretty shaker card. Love the cut out background. Beautiful detail.

    What a great idea to back the shaker with the die cut and acetate, Michele. And then to use the leftovers. Perfect!

    Beautiful and so creative! Love that WF die and wouldn't have thought of using as the back of a shaker.
