ASD Inspiration Challenge - August 2023 Second helpings

I knew I'd be going back for a double dip of fun for the new ASD Inspiration Challenge this month.  This time I'm bringing in 'the pretty' for my shaker card using her wonderful Spring Garden stamp set, coloring stencils, and coordinating dies, too!  Let's start with a closeup...


Those little glass beads seem to be multiplying in my drawer!
Aren't they lovely with the ink colors?  I 'mopped up my leftover ink with a panel of watercolor paper and then used ASD's Tiny Dots cover die to give it interest. Speaking of inks:


Waffle Flower's shaker covers sure do make creating them easier!
Alex Syberia Designs adds the beauty...


Okay!  That's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  7. Look at those lovely soft colors and pretty flowers, sigh... And perfectly matched beads in the shaker. I have a sizeable collection of beads from the old days when I used them in shakers. I need to pull them out as there can be other uses for them as well. Thanks for the fun reminder, Michele!

  11. I LOVE this shaker card Michele! The colors are so soft and perfect-I do love me some greens. LOL Love the sentiment too, how true, today is always a perfect day to be happy! I have seen these shaker pouches being used and they certainly do make making a shaker card easy. I love the little beads you used in the card, they seem to take on the colors in this card. Loving the background too. Gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
